TL;DR: A new three-dimensional (3-D) jungle-gym-like open metal-organic framework has been synthesized from a two-dimensional layer compound using a heterogeneous pillar insertion reaction.

TL;DR: A metallic state in a nanostructured porous crystal 12CaO x 7Al2O3 is reported by incorporating electrons in the inherent subnanometer-sized cages, in which a three-dimensionally closely packed cage structure acts as an electronic conduction path.

TL;DR: A ferroelectric response is reported for a columnar liquid crystal adopting a core–shell architecture that accommodates an array of polar cyano groups confined by a hydrogen-bonded amide network with an optimal strength.

TL;DR: Density functional theory calculations reveal that the three Fe 3d bands (xy, yz and zx) become degenerate at x=0.36, whereas the FS nesting is weakened monotonically with x, implying that the band degeneracy has an important role to induce high T(c).

TL;DR: The existence of two superconductor packings of the same electronically active unit reveals that Tc scales universally in a structure-independent dome-like relationship with proximity to the Mott metal–insulator transition, which is governed by the role of electron correlations characteristic of high-temperature superconducting materials other than fullerides.
