Satellite observations reveal a significant positive trend in Earth’s energy imbalance, but the contributing drivers have yet to be understood. Here, the authors show that it is exceptionally unlikely that this trend can be explained by internal variability; instead, anthropogeni … | Continue reading
Algorithmic solutions to improve treatment are starting to transform health care. Mhasawade and colleagues discuss in this Perspective how machine learning applications in population and public health can extend beyond clinical practice. While working with general health data com … | Continue reading
How to manage wastewater disposal to prevent triggering of earthquakes. | Continue reading
Experimental analysis of gene drive population dynamics has mostly been limited to small cage trials. Here the authors, to fill the gap between lab based studies and field studies, use large indoor cages and see population suppression without the emergence of resistant alleles | Continue reading
Spectroscopic measurements confirm that when water is adsorbed on drops of an alkali alloy at low pressure a gold-coloured metallic layer forms as electrons rapidly move from the drop into the water. | Continue reading
Multivalent nanobodies against SARS-CoV-2 from mice engineered to produce camelid nanobodies recognize conserved epitopes that are inaccessible to human antibodies and show promise as a strategy for dealing with viral escape mutations. | Continue reading
A high-fidelity mirror-image polymerase that accurately synthesizes mirror-image DNA protects stored information from biodegradation. | Continue reading
Real-world evidence from a medical centre links high levels of potent antibodies after vaccination to a reduced risk of infection. | Continue reading
A high-fidelity mirror-image polymerase that accurately synthesizes mirror-image DNA protects stored information from biodegradation. | Continue reading
Fossil discovered in northwestern Canada could rewrite the early history of animal life — but some palaeontologists are not convinced it’s real. | Continue reading
Climate change is expected to have impacts on human mortality, e.g. through increases in heat waves. Here, the author proposes a new metric to account for excess deaths from additional CO2 emissions, which allows to assess the mortality impacts of marginal emissions and leads to … | Continue reading
Electrons from a droplet of sodium and potassium turn water into a metallic material that conducts electricity. | Continue reading
Measurement(s) offshore wind turbine Technology Type(s) satellite imaging • digital curation Factor Type(s) temporal interval • spatial extent Sample Characteristic - Environment wind farm • atmospheric wind Sample Characteristic - Location global … | Continue reading
Just 5% of the world’s power plants account for almost three-quarters of carbon emissions from electricity generation. | Continue reading
The impact of extreme weather events driven by climate change is increasingly disrupting energy assets and services. Using operational data of nuclear reactors, Ali Ahmad identifies how disruptions in nuclear power production have increased over the years with increasing temperat … | Continue reading
Researchers around the world are eagerly awaiting the completion of Tiangong, to study topics from dark matter and gravitational waves to the growth of cancer and pathogenic bacteria. | Continue reading
An energy collector in contact with the skin is efficient enough to power some electronic devices. | Continue reading
Some astronomers argue the flagship observatory — successor to the Hubble Space Telescope — will memorialize discrimination. Others are waiting for more evidence. | Continue reading
Van der Waals magnetic materials (vdWs) have allowed for the exploration of the two dimensional limit of magnetism, however, most vdWs are only magnetic at low temperature. Herein, the authors overcome this limitation, observing room temperature magnetic ordering in Cobalt doped … | Continue reading
Rice and potato plants are more productive after epitranscriptome engineering. | Continue reading
Viral load is roughly 1,000 times higher in people infected with the Delta variant than those infected with the original coronavirus strain, according to a study in China. | Continue reading
An economic analysis suggests that targeting aging offers potentially larger economic gains than eradicating individual diseases. Slowing aging to increase life expectancy by 1 year is worth US$38 trillion, and by 10 years, US$367 trillion. | Continue reading
Vaccines that can spread autonomously through animal populations could help to prevent zoonoses before they spillover into humans. This Perspective discusses the epidemiological theory and the practical challenges associated with transmissible and transferable vaccines. | Continue reading
The search for exotic ‘Majorana’ particles that could solve a big antimatter mystery is ramping up around the world. | Continue reading
What the reproduction number can and can’t tell us about managing COVID-19. | Continue reading
Flexible electronic platforms would enable the integration of functional electronic circuitry with many everyday objects; here, a low-cost and fully flexible 32-bit microprocessor is produced. | Continue reading
Experts welcome the trading scheme, but question whether it is up to the task of helping China achieve its climate goals. | Continue reading
Researchers say they have discovered unique and exciting DNA strands in the mud — others aren’t sure of their novelty. | Continue reading
Organic agriculture requires fewer inputs but produces lower yields than conventional farming. Here, via a modeling approach, Muller et al. predict that if food waste and meat consumption are reduced, organic agriculture could feed the world without requiring cropland expansion. | Continue reading
Blaskovich et al. demonstrate the antimicrobial applications of cannabidiol and cannabidiol analogs against a range of pathogenic bacteria, including the capacity to kill MRSA and the Gram-negative bacteria Neisseria gonorrhoeae. This article highlights the potential for cannabid … | Continue reading
Working with the United Nations, scientists hope to establish standards for satellite ‘megaconstellations’ and reduce disruption of astronomical observations. | Continue reading
Companies are designing next-generation antibodies modeled on those taken from unique individuals whose immune systems can neutralize any COVID-19 variant—and related coronaviruses, too. | Continue reading
SARS-CoV-2 is just one of nonillions of viruses on our planet, and scientists are rapidly identifying legions of new species. | Continue reading
The North American heatwave highlights the need for urban planners to target extreme heat when designing climate-adaptation strategies. | Continue reading
