A polarizing thin filmShrinking the footprint of electronics may require coming up with ferroelectrics that retain their properties down to nanometer-thickness films. Yang et al. add to a growing list of materials that retain ferroelectricity at these small length scales. The authors found a ferroelectric bismuth oxide structure that they stabilized with a small amount of samarium substitution. When coated on a substrate, the ferroelectric behavior persists down to one nanometer.

Rational inverse design of 3D shapesNature has a wide range of tools for making cellular microstructures, such as those found in flowers, leaves, and other biological tissues. Despite advances in printing techniques, patterning porous, curved surfaces can be challenging. Cheng et al. developed an inverse design method to achieve complex three-dimensional (3D surfaces through a subset of 2D films that are bonded together.

Plant Evolution A study in daisiesCorinne SimontiMany deserts are geologically young. Studying organisms from these biomes can reveal whether species colonize new ecological niches because they are “pre-adapted” to similar environments or because they rapidly acquire new genetic capacities.

The vital role of immunization in public health has been displayed in full view during the COVID-19 pandemic with the race to develop and mass-produce vaccines using viruses and various antigen-generating technologies ( 1 ). Despite not often being in the spotlight, vaccine adjuvants are critical in modulating immune responses ( 2 ). Effective adjuvants are thus indispensable in the fight against current and emerging diseases.

For optics, like semiconductor heterostructures, the interfaces and inhomogeneities in materials can manipulate optical waves and fields. Numerous photonic devices and components—for example, waveguides, lenses, and cavities—function owing to the presence of such interfaces and material spatial variations. Such parameter inhomogeneity is generally in three dimensions of space (spatial inhomogeneities). But what if the dimension of “time” could be introduced into material parameters?

Social Disparity Intelligence, wealth, and powerEkeoma UzogaraShould we infer unusually high intelligence in people with extremely high incomes? The highest earners make choices that are consequential because they occupy prestigious positions that wield immense power. Some may argue that the highest earners deserve their power and influence because of extraordinary intellect and merit, but this is debatable. Keuschnigg et al.
