Stress pinch points from glacial loading modulate magma ascent and storage in continental arcs
Competing hydrogen-bond orders drive water’s anomalous surface tension
Correlative molecular-to-mesoscale evolution in conjugated polymers for intrinsically stretchable organic photovoltaics
Abstract Conjugated polymer thin films offer a unique combination of tunable optoelectronic properties and mechanical flexibility, making them as promising materials for intrinsicall...
Cross-domain metabolic interactions link Methanobrevibacter smithii to colorectal cancer microbial ecosystems
Abstract The human gut is colonized by trillions of microbes that influence the health of their human host. Whereas many bacterial species have now been linked t...
A nutrient bottleneck controls antibiotic efficacy in structured bacterial populations
Abstract Antibiotic resistance is a growing global health threat. Although antibiotic activity is well studied in homogeneous liquid cultures, many infections ar...
Sensory coding of borneol repellency in culicine mosquitoes via the Or49 pathway
A countercurrent microflow strategy for simultaneous high selectivity and conversion in aromatic nitration
Abstract Aromatic nitration, a hazardously complex process, poses serious risks. A major challenge for the reaction is the trade-off effect between spatiotempora...
Detecting glycosyl-oxonium and glycosyl-nitrilium ions using exchange NMR to investigate solvent effects in glycosylation reactions
A neurotoxic cryptic peptide arising from TDP-43-dependent cryptic splicing of PKN1
Q4ddPCR: a flexible, 4-target assay for high-resolution HIV reservoir profiling
Abstract Precise and scalable quantification of the intact HIV reservoir is critical for advancing curative strategies. Current reservoir assays, such as the int...
Nonlinear genomic selection index accelerates multi-trait crop improvement
Abstract Linear phenotypic and genomic selection indices assume additivity and linearity, limiting their ability to exploit nonlinear trait relationships. Here, we introduce the Quad...
Author Correction: Manipulating d-orbital of Cu single atom site by coordination engineering for selective oxidation of benzene
SamplingDesign: RNA design via continuous optimization with coupled variables and Monte-Carlo sampling
Rapid modulation of choice behavior by ultrasound on the human frontal eye fields
Abstract A fundamental challenge in neuroscience is establishing causal brain-function relationships with spatial and temporal precision. Transcranial ultrasonic stimulation offers a...
In situ structures of the portal-neck-tail complex of bacteriophage T4 inform a viral genome positioning mechanism
Substorm expansion embedded in a global cycle of field-aligned currents and auroral electrojets
Abstract Geomagnetic substorms transfer solar wind energy into the planetary magnetosphere and ionosphere, producing auroral displays and ground magnetic disturbances, particularly i...
Genetic modifiers of APOE-ε4-associated cognitive decline
Developmental plasticity enables an intestinal tapeworm to adapt to dietary stress
Abstract Diet is one of the strongest ecological forces shaping the gut environment, yet its impact on intestinal worms (helminths) remains poorly understood. Th...
Impact of authigenic clay formation on marine trace element cycling
High-throughput chiral copper foils by curved-surface confinement recrystallization
Abstract Chiral metal surfaces play a pivotal role in enantioselective catalysis, sensing, and spintronics, yet their scalable fabrication remains challenging due to a reliance on ch...
Oriented ion migration in dielectric Sb4O5Cl2 single crystals for multifunctional two-dimensional electronics
Oxytocin facilitates social behavior of female rats via selective modulation of interneurons in the medial prefrontal cortex
Abstract The hypothalamic neuropeptide oxytocin is best known for its prosocial behavioral effects. However, the precise anatomical and cellular targets for oxyt...
A red/blue optoswitch for temporal control of chloroplast transcription and biogenesis in Arabidopsis
Abstract Photosynthesis genes in plant chloroplasts are transcribed by the plastid-encoded RNA polymerase called PEP. Consequently, PEP-deficient mutants cannot...
Ustilago maydis disrupts carbohydrate signaling networks to induce hypertrophy in host cells
Abstract Ustilago maydis infection in maize causes hypertrophic leaf tumors; however, the underlying mechanisms driving this excessive cell g...
