The spin Seebeck effect (SSE) is sensitive to thermally driven magnetic excitations in magnetic insulators. Vanadium dioxide in its insulating low-temperature phase is expected to lack magnetic degrees of freedom, as vanadium atoms are thought to form singlets upon dimerization of the vanadium chains. Instead, we find a paramagnetic SSE response in VO2 films that grows as the temperature decreases below 50 K. The field and temperature-dependent SSE voltage is qualitatively consistent with a general model of paramagnetic SSE response and inconsistent with triplet spin transport. Quantitative estimates find a spin Seebeck coefficient comparable in magnitude to that observed in strongly magnetic materials. The microscopic nature of the magnetic excitations in VO2 requires further examination.

The global nitrogen cycle holds immense importance due to its crucial role in supporting life, supplying vital nutrients for plant growth, preserving environmental balance, and enabling the proper functioning of ecosystems. However, human activities frequently disrupt this cycle, leading to the accumulation of nitrates and nitrites in water bodies. This accumulation causes environmental pollution and health risks. Traditional methods for treating nitrogen pollution, including biological, physical, and chemical approaches, have inherent limitations. In recent years, electrocatalysis has emerged as a promising and sustainable approach for nitrogen management. This technology offers superior efficiency, high selectivity, and environmental *** not only enables accurate detection of nitrogen pollutants in the environment but also facilitates their conversion into harmless nitrogen gas. Moreover, recent advancements have focused on the upcycling of nitrogen pollutants into valuable compounds,such as ammonia and urea. In this comprehensive review, we showcase the applications of electrocatalysis in sustainable nitrogen management. Specifically, we highlight its use in the sensing, removal, and upcycling of major nitrogen pollutants,including nitrate(NO3-), nitrite(NO2-), and nitric oxide(NO). We discuss the use of catalysts, such as Pd alloys, Cu-based, and Fe-based materials, in electrochemical sensing and catalysis. Additionally, we explore recent advancements in the conversion of nitrogen pollutants into valuable compounds like ammonia and urea. The review also addresses current challenges and future opportunities in the field, including innovations in sensor and catalyst design, as well as large-scale treatment strategies. We anticipate that these perspectives will provide profound insights for effective nitrogen pollution control and sustainable utilization of nitrogen resources.

Recent discovery of superconductivity in infinite-layer nickelates has ignited renewed theoretical and experimental interest in the role of electronic correlations in their properties. Here, using first-principles simulations, we show that the parent compound of the nickelate family, LaNiO2, hosts competing low-energy stripe phases, similar to doped cuprates. The stripe states are shown to be driven by multiorbital electronic mechanisms and Peierls distortions. Our study indicates that both strong correlations and electron-phonon coupling effects play a key role in the physics of infinite-layer nickelates, and sheds light on the microscopic origin of electronic inhomogeneity and the lack of long-range order in the nickelates.

The bistable reflective cholesteric-liquid-crystal display exhibits two stable states with contrasting optical properties at zero voltage. One is the reflecting planar state where the helical axis is perpendicular to the display substrate, and the other is the nonreflecting focal conic state where the orientation of the helical axis is random throughout the display. The display is switched directly from the planar state to the focal conic state by a low voltage. It is switched from the focal conic state back to the planar state in an indirect manner: it is switched to a third state, known as the homeotropic state, by a high voltage, and then relaxes back to the planar state when the applied high voltage is removed. Here we report a new mechanism to switch the bistable reflective display. We make use of liquid-crystal dimers, which have abnormally small bend elastic constants and exhibit a heliconical state. The bistable display is switched from the focal conic state to the heliconical state by an intermediate voltage and then relaxes back to the planar state after the applied voltage is removed. Through this mechanism the driving voltage is significantly reduced.
