Nonconventional near-infrared room-temperature phosphorescent materials based on spiropolymer alloy
Versatile on-chip plasmonic lattices enabled by Kekulé metasurfaces
Laser-assisted microbial culturomics
Abstract Even though metagenomics have revolutionized the characterization of the human microbiome, detailed mechanistic studies are impracticable, as there is a dearth of robust cul...
A hierarchy of time constants and reliable signal propagation in the marmoset cerebral cortex
Abstract A hierarchy of timescales in the cerebral cortex is functionally desirable for rapid information processing in sensory areas and slow time integration in association areas....
DFT calculations do not explain enantiospecific NMR responses in cross polarization
A hyperconformal dual-modal metaskin for well-defined and high-precision contextual interactions
Abstract Proprioception and touch serve as complementary sensory modalities to coordinate hand kinematics and recognize users’ intent for precise interactions. However, current motio...
Cross-scale high-bandwidth atomic force microscopy with a stick-slip nanopositioner
Pharmacologic inhibition of PCBP2 biomolecular condensates relieves Alzheimer’s disease
Abstract Biomolecular condensates, membrane-less assemblies formed by phase separation, are implicated in neurodegenerative disease, but their role in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) remain...
Light-driven radical copper-catalyzed allylic amination via allylic copper intermediates
Abstract The synthesis of allylic amines through an outer-sphere nucleophilic substitution mechanism involving electrophilic allyl copper(III) complexes with sof...
Chemically tunable quantum magnetism on the anisotropic triangular lattice in rhenium oxyhalides
tRNA-dependent conformational dynamics and folding coordinate translational regulation by a full-length T-box riboswitch
Continuous targeted hypermutation with a tunable mutation window
An antimicrobial peptide as a potential therapy for bacterial pneumonia that alleviates antimicrobial resistance
Remission spectroscopy resolves the mechanism of action of bedaquiline within living mycobacteria
Abstract Bedaquiline, an ATP synthase inhibitor, is the spearhead of transformative therapies against drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculos...
The AML cellular state space unveils NPM1 immune evasion subtypes with distinct clinical outcomes
Abstract Acute myeloid leukemia is a genetically and cellularly heterogeneous disease. We characterize 120 AMLs using genomic and transcriptomic analyses, includ...
Ecological similarities and dissimilarities between donor and recipient regions shape global plant naturalizations
Abstract A central question in ecology is why alien species naturalize successfully in some regions but not in others. While some hypotheses suggest aliens are more likely to natural...
General-purpose mechanical computing enabled by origami circuit reconfiguration with robotic addressing and activation
A lignin-enrichment approach for processing natural wood into highly NIR-selective optical filters
Universal efficiency boost in prethermal quantum heat engines at negative temperature
Abstract Heat engines near the adiabatic limit typically assume a working medium at thermal equilibrium. However, quantum many-body systems often showcase conservation laws that hind...
Meningococci drive host membrane tubulation to recruit their signaling receptors
Abstract Once passed into the bloodstream, bacterial pathogens have a limited time to interact with permissive receptors at the surface of host cells....
Organocatalytic iminium-assisted asymmetric B(sp²)-to-B(sp³) transformation
Selective micropollutant degradation via nanoconfined core-shell heterostructures with robust resilience to water matrices
Terahertz photonic heterodyne spectral analysis with (sub-) kHz resolution and 6.5 THz frequency coverage
Abstract Spectrum analyzers and spectrometers are essential for designing sources, analyzing material properties, layer structures and fingerprinting substances. We present an ultra-...
Isolable f-element diphosphene complexes by phosphinidene group transfer and coupling at uranium
Abstract The parent diphosphene (HPPH) molecule is of fundamental interest, but its reactive nature renders it challenging to isolate and study. Metal-stabilizat...
Cancer-associated snaR-A noncoding RNA interacts with core splicing machinery and disrupts processing of mRNA subpopulations
Abstract Expansion of RNA polymerase III (Pol III) activity in cancer can activate the transcription of typically silent small RNA genes, including snaR-A (small NF90-associated RNA...
