    Scientific Achievement: Calculations predict that high-temperature (high-Tc) sign-switched s-wave superconductivity arises in trilayer La4Ni3O10 under pressure and can be enhanced by electron doping. Significance and Impact: Results provide guidance for the design of new Ni-oxide superconductors with higher Tc.DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.133.136001

    Scientific Achievement: Manipulating the type and degree of spin and exchange disorder in a crystal lattice provides new design principles to create highly tunable magnetic order. Significance and Impact: Targeted synthesis of compositionally complex correlated oxides will allow control of magnetic order and frustration critical to future spintronic applications.DOI: 10.1002/advs.202200391

    Scientific Achievement: Theoreticians running computer models discovered an unexpected “block spiral” magnetic spin state made of ferromagnetic islands that rigidly rotate. Significance and Impact: Discovering the predicted state in quasi one-dimensional substructures could highlight possibilities for topological effects or exotic physics in promising materials.DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2001141117
