The accelerating loss and shifting dynamics of US tidal wetlands
Abstract Tidal wetlands are critical ecosystems for coastal sustainability, yet despite growing regulatory protection, they continue to decline globally. Their l...
Regional impacts on decarbonisation under evolving financing conditions for energy technologies
Abstract Energy-sector decarbonisation requires large-scale investment in low-carbon technologies, yet only a limited share flows to low- and middle-income countries, partly due to h...
Structural basis for dual mechanism of Cas2/3 nuclease inhibition by anti-CRISPR protein AcrIF19
Abstract CRISPR-Cas systems are prokaryotic immune mechanisms often targeted by phage-encoded anti-CRISPR (Acr) proteins. This study characterizes AcrIF19, a pot...
Broadband extreme ultraviolet zeroth order scatterometry for nanostructure metrology
Abstract The continuous shrinkage of critical dimensions in nanofabrication demands nanometrology at the relevant resolution, which can be achieved using short-w...
Symmetry-controlled multi-gap superconductivity and higher-order topological phases of MoTe2
Abstract The transition-metal dichalcogenide MoTe 2 has been proposed as an ideal platform to intertwine superconductivit...
A generalist precision medication framework using temporal causal inference based on treatment-free physiological profiles
Mpi-driven N-glycosylation orchestrates mucin O-glycosylation and intestinal homeostasis
Abstract The intestinal mucus barrier physically separates the epithelium from the dense microbial community of the gut and is essential for intestinal homeostasis. The principal com...
Scalable and sustainable manufacturing of functional DNA nanoassemblies via self-folding circular single-stranded DNA
Hybrid reasoning for perception, explanation, and autonomous action in manufacturing
Abstract Industrial processes must operate robustly in unpredictable environments, where errors are costly and difficult to detect. AI-based control systems offer a path forward but...
Diverse mechanisms of translation arrest by a Clostridia ribosome stalling peptide CliM
Abstract Ribosome arrest peptides undergo programmed translational stalling in response to changes in the cellular environment to feedback-regulate gene expressi...
A comparative transcriptomic analysis of mouse demyelination models and multiple sclerosis lesions
Decoding spatial transcriptomics across multicellular and subcellular resolutions
Phage-encoded factor stimulates DNA degradation by the Hna anti-phage defense system
Abstract Prokaryotic organisms have evolved unique strategies to acquire immunity against the constant threat of bacteriophage (phage) and mobile genetic elements. Hna is a broadly d...
Trunk-branch-inspired carbon fiber scaffolds with boron nitride network for heat dissipation and electromagnetic interference shielding
Subduction legacies in the mantle transition zone modulate intraplate oceanic volcanism
Abstract How oceanic crust forms and intraplate volcanism arises remains central to resolving the mechanisms driving Earth’s dynamic evolution. Anomalously thick oceanic crust is con...
Bio-inspired antioxidant stabilization for efficient tin-lead and all-perovskite tandem solar cells
Conformal graphene coatings on ordinary fabrics for wearable electronic devices
Abstract Dip-coating ordinary fabrics with conductive macromolecules holds promise for mass-production of next-generation wearable electronics but faces an inter...
