    Solution-processed two-dimensional perovskite quantum-well-based optoelectronic devices have attracted great research interest but their electrical transport is poorly understood. Tsai et al. reveal that the potential barriers of the quantum wells dominate the transport properties in solar cell devices.

    Temporary association of metabolic enzymes is generally assumed to facilitate substrate channelling within the complex. In this review, Lee Sweetlove and Alisdair Fernie outline the nature and functional consequence of organising enzymes into assemblies, and discuss applications within the natural world and synthetic biology.

    Methods for coherently transferring quantum states are needed in order to develop larger scale quantum devices. Here the authors implement an adiabatic transfer protocol in a triple quantum dot and show that dephasing noise can accelerate the process while maintaining the coherence of the transferred state.

    Whether the spin, charge and orbital degrees of freedom could drive an iron-based superconductor to the nematic state remains elusive. Here, Baek et al. report the doping-temperature phase diagram of Na1−xLi x FeAs and show a subtle relationship between nematicity and spin fluctuations with respect to doping.

    Dimensionality reduction and visualization methods lack a principled way of comparing multiple datasets. Here, Abid et al. introduce contrastive PCA, which identifies low-dimensional structures enriched in one dataset compared to another and enables visualization of dataset-specific patterns.

    The Sc2.0 project has set out to synthesise the Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome, with each chromosome redesigned along agreed principles. In this collection of papers, the researchers involved show how SCRaMbLE—Synthetic Chromosome Rearrangement and Modification by LoxP-mediated Evolution—can be used to rapidly reorganise the genome.

    Today, on the 16th May, we celebrate the first International Day of Light, which UNESCO proclaimed late last year. We celebrate the central role light and light-based technologies play in our lives and consider how they can be beneficial to humanity through sustainable lighting, renewable energy and improved health care.
