Epoxide apparent exchange reaction for the precise synthesis of epoxy resins
Probing the zooarchaeological record across time and space for ancient pathogen DNA
Abstract Zoonoses are among the greatest threats to human health, with many zoonotic pathogens believed to have emerged following the Neolithic transition. Palae...
Socio-ecological impacts of the 2025 Los Angeles urban fires on communities, neighborhoods, and homes
Abstract Human settlements are increasingly being impacted by urban fires initiated by wildfires. Metrics such as area burned and number of structures destroyed...
Amorphous intermediates and discovery of a kinetic polymorph of BiVO4 from heating V+Bi+Zn single-source precursors
Abstract Molecular single-source precursors are a promising way of obtaining multi-element extended solids directly. We show that thermal decomposition of well-d...
Warming climate amplifies vapor pressure deficit limits on gross primary productivity
Nuclear genetic modulation of tissue-specific mitochondrial RNA processing contributes to common disease risk
Abstract Mitochondrial dysfunction is widely implicated in human disease, yet whether it plays a causal role and why effects are tissue-specific remain unclear. Here, we analyse over...
Acetylation of STX17 promotes its autophagosomal translocation
Spatiotemporally localized optical links and knots
Diverse mechanical properties, composition, and performance of shark dermal denticles
Picosecond all-electrical perpendicular magnetization switching
The superior colliculus gates dopamine responses to conditioned stimuli in visual classical conditioning
Abstract In classical Pavlovian conditioning, it is well-established that midbrain dopamine neurons respond to conditioned stimuli (CS) that predict a reward. However, how the dopami...
Learning diverse natural behaviors for enhancing the agility of quadrupedal robots
Highly modular conductive threads for multiplexed detection of hazardous gases
Aging-associated modulation of UFMylation impairs proteostasis in C. elegans
Real-time monitoring of multimode squeezing
Abstract Multimode squeezed light is a key resource for high-dimensional quantum technologies, enhancing metrological sensitivity, boosting communication security, and enabling paral...
Giant transverse magnetic fluctuations at the edge of re-entrant superconductivity in UTe2
Abstract UTe 2 exhibits the remarkable phenomenon of re-entrant superconductivity, whereby the zero-resistance state reap...
Polyketal-conjugated tafluprost microparticles enable long-acting glaucoma therapy
Heterochronic activation of TGF-β signaling drives the diversity of the avian sterna
Abstract Adaptive evolution has shaped vertebrate skeletal morphology, supporting diverse locomotor modes and lifestyles. In volant birds (carinates), the sternum develops a ventral...
The mannose receptor on sinusoidal lining cells mediates two-step bacterial clearance in the human spleen
Abstract The human spleen plays a critical role in clearing bacteria from the bloodstream, particularly during septicaemia; yet the cellular mechanisms underlyin...
High-performance microelectronic-integratable molecular transistors
NAE1/UBA3-UBE2M are E1 and E2 enzymes for the URM1 modification
Abstract Ubiquitin-related modifier 1 (URM1) is an evolutionarily conserved ubiquitin-like protein. In eukaryotes, it serves dual roles as a sulfur donor for tRNA modification and a...
Shape and amplitude decoupling in pulsatile physiological signal synthesis and its evaluation
Abstract Pulsatile physiological signals, such as arterial blood pressure and electrocardiograms, encode cardiovascular dynamics through rhythmic variations in waveform shape and amp...
Spatial-aware detection of copy number alterations from spatial transcriptomics using SpaCNA
Strength-ductility synergy in medium-entropy alloys via harnessing trace air in additive manufacturing
Abstract Conventional additive manufacturing (AM) of metallic materials demands costly high-vacuum or ultra-pure inert atmospheres to suppress impurity-induced e...
