We present direct evidence for room-temperature magnetization reversal induced by an electric field in epitaxial ferroelectric BiFeO3-ferrimagnetic CoFe2O4 columnar nanostructures. Piezoelectric force microscopy and magnetic force microscopy were used to locally image the coupled piezoelectric-magnetic switching. Quantitative analyses give a perpendicular magnetoelectric susceptibility of approximately 1.0 x 10(-2) G cm/V. The observed effect is due to the strong elastic coupling between the two ferric constituents as the result of the three-dimensional heteroepitaxy.

In this study, TaO was obliquely deposited on a polymer grating, resulting in a nanostructured thin film (NTF) with pronounced anisotropic optical properties. We measured and compared the principal indices and principal axes orientations of NTFs grown on both a grating and a smooth glass substrate. By adjusting the deposition angle, we observed a significant variation in the columnar angle and principal indices of the NTF on the grating, compared to the NTF on a smooth surface.

Enhancing both strength and plasticity simultaneously in nanostructured materials remains a significant challenge. While grain refinement is effective in increasing strength, it typically leads to reduced plasticity due to localized strain. In this study, we propose a novel design strategy featuring a dual-nano composite structure with grain boundary segregation to enhance the deformation stability of nanostructured materials.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers have found that high concentrations of the DNA 4-base oligomer GCCG can lead to the spontaneous formation of three-dimensional (3D) structures in aqueous solutions, expanding the field of DNA nanoscience.
- The GCCG oligomer forms double helices that create ordered arrangements resembling liquid crystal phases, allowing for complex structural organization even at high concentrations.
- At concentrations over 400 mg/mL, a new 3D body-centered cubic lattice framework develops, which could have practical applications in nanoscale templating and selection due to its unique properties and stability.

Seasonal influenza infection poses great threat to public health systems. The flu vaccine remains the most effective method to reduce transmission and mortality. However, its effectiveness is limited due to the challenges in protecting against all influenza variants, as well as the weaker immune response observed in the adult population.
