    Han et al. report that vanadium-based MXenes (V2CTx and V4C3Tx) can provide broadband microwave absorption with ultralow filler loading in polymer matrix. The free electron transport, surface terminations, native defects, and layers arrangement significantly affect electronic and dielectric properties of Vn+1CnTx MXenes.

    Kim et al. uncover how SARS-CoV-2 variants evolve to be more dependent on heparan sulfate in viral attachment and infection. A combination of computational and experimental techniques reveal that increased positive charge on spike proteins leads to enhanced binding to heparan sulfate, informing the design of rapid diagnostics for COVID.

    Shi and Fa et al. report covalent organic nanotubes with 5-fold symmetry by stacking two pillar-shaped macrocycles through dynamic covalent linkages. Three different chiral nanotubes are separated, providing one-dimensional channels with different chirality. When binding with guest molecules, two pillar[5]arene cavities communicate with each other, resulting in allosteric binding affinities.

    Chlorine modification of copper electrocatalysts can be beneficial for conversion of carbon dioxide selectively into highly reduced products, but poor understanding overshadows the potential to tailor catalysts. Here, Zou and Veenstra et al. reveal how the copper phase and chlorine interact to create a promotional effect, providing design guidelines for copper catalysts.
