DESCRIPTION:The recent discovery of superconductivity in infinite-layer ni
 ckelates has engendered reviving interest in the study of a cuprate-analog
  system [1]. Notably\, superconducting nickelates display signatures of in
 triguing similarities and distinctions to the cuprates in their phase diag
 rams\, proximity to strongly correlated electronic phases [2\,3]\, antifer
 romagnetic interactions [4]\, superconducting anisotropy [5]\, etc. Partia
 lly owing to the non-trivial challenges in materials synthesis and their t
 hin-film nature\, experimental demonstration of the intrinsic properties o
 f this materials family has still been limited. In this talk\, I will intr
 oduce this new family of superconductors synthesized by a soft-chemistry a
 pproach and highlight the critical aspects of their electronic and magneti
 c structure. I will also present our latest work on novel synthetic approa
 ches to the materials system and probing of their distinct features\, in a
  broader context of the unusual role that rare-earth elements and chemical
  environment play [6]. Finally\, I will suggest how new applications of ki
 netic-based synthetic approaches in oxide heterostructures provide a broad
  opportunity to create novel nickelate systems in previously inaccessible 
 ways [7].\n\n[1] D. Li et al.\, Nature 572\, 624 (2019).\n[2] D. Li et al.
