Demonstration of an always-on exchange-only spin qubit
Abstract In conventional exchange-only (EO) spin qubit demonstrations, quantum gates have been implemented using sequences of individually pulsed pairwise exchan...
Permafrost landsystems define regional variability in climate change effects on northern environments
Abstract Anticipating the environmental and societal consequences of climate-driven permafrost thaw requires knowledge of terrain and subsurface conditions, whic...
Single-cell transcriptomics reveals FXR1 as an actionable target for siRNA therapy in ovarian cancer
Abstract Ovarian cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality among women and remains exceptionally difficult to manage and treat effectively in the clinic. Fragil...
A urea-activated nanocarrier for site-specific SGLT2 inhibition and metabolic rescue against cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome
Representation learning to advance multi-institutional studies with electronic health record data from US and France
Enhanced reward coding and condition-independent dynamics in optogenetically identified corticostriatal neurons in monkeys
Disentangled autoencoding equivariant diffusion model for controlled generation of 3D molecules
Distinct mechanisms of replication stress induced by oncogenic RAS and cyclin E1 converge on R-loop-dependent fork reversal
Abstract Activated oncogenes elicit genomic instability by inducing DNA replication stress. Here we show that replication fork reversal and chromosome mis-segregation induced by onco...
Antiferroelectric polarization enabling physical activation in CuBiP2Se6 for medical image processing
A highly limited amino acid library from asteroid Bennu yields wide-ranging protein folds
Thinner-than-paper and broad-temperature-adaptive zinc-iodine batteries enabled by nanophase separated deep-eutectic hydrogel electrolytes
A single viral enzyme drives tRNA-dependent hypermodification of DNA at adenine
Hippo signaling differentially regulates distal progenitor subpopulations and their transitional states to construct the mammalian lungs
Abstract Lung size control and cell type specification are key unresolved issues. In this study, we have engineered mosaic patterns of Hippo signaling to reveal...
Structural insights into C-terminus-mediated RNA target cleavage by a mesophilic prokaryotic argonaute
A “paradox of progress” shapes the social determinants of infectious diseases in Vietnam, 1975–2025
Solution-processed photovoltaic and thermoelectric hybrid systems with efficiency exceeding 50%
ZFP36L2 is an interferon β -induced inhibitor that restricts the nuclear export of HIV-1 transcripts
3D mapping of compositional gradients of core-shell structures in AgInxGa1-xS2 quantum dots by atom probe tomography
Abstract Colloidal quantum dots (QDs), which exhibit tunable band gaps depending on their size and composition, are widely studied for light-emitting and optoele...
Reprogrammable metamaterial robot with embodied versatile computation and mechanical intelligence
Composite polyphenols mitigate microplastic exposure-related immune disturbances: a two-phase population trial
Circulating extracellular vesicle microRNAs mediate immune modulation of social behavior in male mice
Abstract Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are cell-derived small membrane vesicles and circulate throughout the body, but the impact of circulating EVs on brain func...
Room-temperature second sound in isotopically pure graphite
Abstract The observation of second sound—a propagating wave-like manifestation of hydrodynamic heat transport—in solid crystals has been confined to a handful of materials at cryogen...
Probing ultrafast heating and ionization dynamics in solid density plasmas with time-resolved resonant X-ray absorption and emission
Abstract Heating and ionization are among the most fundamental processes in relativistic laser–solid interactions; however, their spatiotemporal evolution remains challenging to capt...
Human analogical guidance amplifies LLM performance through cross-domain knowledge activation
Generalization of fear learning is shaped by inhibitory sensory processing in mice
Abstract When an organism learns that a sensory stimulus predicts a threat, the brain’s neural representation of the stimulus somehow incorporates that informati...
