Anchoring mechanism-inspired discovery of a bacterial P450 gene conferring resistance to auxin herbicides
Three-dimensional distribution of amino groups improves perovskite crystallization and defect passivation in high-performance photovoltaics
Abstract Incorporating organic molecules with diverse functional groups to improve film quality has emerged as a crucial strategy for realizing high-performance...
Continuous processing of sustainable mixed-matrix carbon hollow fiber precursors for ethylene/ethane separation membranes
Deployable 3D architectures from wafer-fabricated precursors
Abstract We demonstrate that standard wafer fabrication can produce free-standing, mechanically stable, doubly-curved 3D structures with prescribed Gaussian curvature — a capability...
Sharp structural variability of the Gorda slab imaged by a fiber array
Abstract Structural variability at the subduction interface imposes stress and strength heterogeneity that affects the behavior of megathrust earthquakes. Characterizing this variabi...
Inflammatory biomarkers of asymptomatic and symptomatic tuberculosis
Abstract A large proportion of individuals with tuberculosis (TB) are asymptomatic. The biological and inflammatory underpinnings of asymptomatic TB are unknown and may differ from s...
Mechanosensory encoding of surface mechanics optimizes locomotion
Abstract Locomotion - whether walking, running, or crawling - depends on the precise coordination of forces between the body and its surroundings. Two critical f...
Scaling and Population Loss in Mexican Urban Centres
Abstract Despite its pervasive implications, many cities worldwide continue to expand in a fragmented, horizontal manner. We analyse urban growth dynamics in 69 Mexican metropolitan...
Unidentifiability and false-positive inference in state-dependent diversification models
Single-atom-engineered perovskite enables near-theoretical-rate hydroxyl radical electrogeneration
Abstract Electrochemical advanced oxidation that directly activates O 2 through the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) to ge...
Ground-based radar unveils natural electron Bernstein waves in the ionosphere of Earth
A prehistoric East-Asian Yersinia pestis genome and a ~5.3 ka trans-Eurasian expansion of plague
Receptor allostery promotes context-specific Sonic Hedgehog signaling during embryonic development
Abstract Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) signaling functions in temporal- and context-dependent manners to pattern diverse tissues during embryogenesis. The signal transducer Smoothened (SMO) i...
Counteranion-mediated dynamic kinetic asymmetric fluorination to access sulfur-stereogenic center
Navigating optimal solar-wind trade-offs under climate change
A natural solution from caterpillar cuticles for flexible impact-resistant materials
Cost-effective abatement of industrial sources of nitrous oxide with methane for urgent climate mitigation
Mitophagy mitigates mitochondrial DNA-induced activation of cGAS-STING in autoimmune thyroiditis
Abstract Autoimmune thyroiditis arises from disrupted homeostasis of thyroid follicular epithelial cells and coordinated immune cell activation within the microenvironment. However,...
Dielectric stacking-engineered scalable reconfigurable transistor platform for adaptive logic circuits
Abstract Although reconfigurable van der Waals devices featuring flexible logic transformation offer a promising strategy toward adaptable architectures to accom...
Nickel catalysis enables chemoselectivity in radiation chemistry
A benchmark study of vision and pathology foundation models for computational pathology
The BRCT domain enhances DNA binding and catalytic efficiency of fungal PARPs
Abstract Aspergillus fumigatus infections are a major yet often neglected global health challenge magnified by a growing at-risk population,...
