Isolation and characterization of an archaeon that is most closely related to eukaryotes reveals insights into how eukaryotes may have evolved from prokaryotes. | Continue reading
Telecommunication, navigation and remote sensing services are highly dependent on how well satellites provide global coverage. Here the authors show a pair of four-satellite low-cost longer-life constellations that provide nearly continuous global coverage to support Earth observ … | Continue reading
There has been much concern about the “replication crisis” in psychology and other disciplines. Here the authors show that an efficient solution to the crisis would not insist on replication before publication, and would instead encourage publication before replication, with the … | Continue reading
Proof at the nexus of pure mathematics and algorithms puts ‘quantum weirdness’ on a whole new level. | Continue reading
Vertically stacked twisted layers of two-dimensional materials can trigger exciting fundamental physics. Here, authors report controlled growth of 30° twisted few-layer SnS2 over SnS2 via van der Waals epitaxy of an SnS intermediate and its transformation in the presence of exces … | Continue reading
The semiconductor 6LiInP2Se6 is used for the direct detection of thermal neutrons at room temperature, demonstrating good energy resolution. | Continue reading
Producing H2O2 electrochemically currently use electrocatalysts that are insufficient to meet the demands for industrialization. A single-atom electrocatalyst with an optimized Co–N4 moiety incorporated in nitrogen-doped graphene is shown to exhibit enhanced performance for H2O2 … | Continue reading
Feeding the world involves tackling all aspects of the food system. | Continue reading
Microorganisms called Asgard archaea have been grown in the laboratory. | Continue reading
White House also chooses atmospheric scientist to lead the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. | Continue reading
A remarkably accurate algorithm for predicting protein folds. | Continue reading
More than two-thirds of scientists polled in a survey say that they would move for the ‘right’ academic job — if the pay suits. | Continue reading
Latest launch includes ‘DarkSat’ prototype to reduce reflection from fleets of broadband Internet satellites. | Continue reading
In contrast to previous studies, analyses now show that ocean acidification does not perturb important behaviours—such as the avoidance of chemical cues from predators—of coral reef fishes. | Continue reading
Health data are being generated and collected at an unprecedented scale, but whether big data will truly revolutionize healthcare is still a matter of much debate. | Continue reading
Big data are difficult to handle. These tips and tricks can smooth the way. | Continue reading
Exercise improves metabolic health and physical condition, particularly important for health in aged individuals. Here, the authors identify that Sestrins, proteins induced by exercise, are key mediators of the metabolic adaptation to exercise and increase endurance through the A … | Continue reading
Ibrahim et al. show that the Arabidopsis and Phaeodactylum Chloroplast Sensor Kinase (CSK) and the cyanobacterial CSK homologue, Histidine kinase 2, are iron sulfur proteins. This study provides insights into how the CSK-based chloroplast two-component system perceives and propag … | Continue reading

A floating-gate memristive device fabricated in a commercial 180 nm CMOS process can be integrated into a selector-free memristive array and used to demonstrate basic neuromorphic applications. | Continue reading
The UK prime minister’s adviser Dominic Cummings wants scientific approaches to inform government — but researchers worry his view is simplistic. | Continue reading
Last year’s fire at Paris’s beloved cathedral shocked the world. Now, researchers are making use of the unprecedented opportunity to study its innards. | Continue reading
NASA spacecraft also spots an alien world orbiting two stars. | Continue reading
Structural, biochemical and cellular analyses show that bacterial antigens can mimic gliadin epitopes involved in celiac disease being presented by HLA-DQ2.5 and recognized by T cells derived from patients. | Continue reading
Integration of an ultrafast flexible rectifier made from a two-dimensional material with a flexible antenna achieves wireless energy harvesting of Wi-Fi radiation, which could power future flexible electronic systems. | Continue reading
Working alongside physicists made me a better science communicator, says Ken Kosik, and helped me to clarify knowledge gaps in my own field. | Continue reading
Only one repeating fast radio burst has been localized, to an irregular dwarf galaxy; now another is found to come from a star-forming region of a nearby spiral galaxy. | Continue reading
This Perspective highlights the science opportunities and the vast discovery space of simultaneous observations from the LISA and Athena observatories, which would be missed if they were operated in different epochs . | Continue reading
The fastest way to become fluent in the language of a new scientific discipline is to embed yourself inside it and use it regularly, says Sarah Bohndiek. | Continue reading
Spectroscopic simulations of exoplanetary atmospheres show that our best chance to detect molecular oxygen lies in the 6.4-μm band of collision-induced absorptions. The first detections could be possible with the James Webb Space Telescope. | Continue reading
A prospective, multicenter, case–control clinical trial evaluates the potential of artificial intelligence for providing accurate bedside diagnosis of patients with brain tumors. | Continue reading
Survey sheds light on the ‘crisis’ rocking research. | Continue reading
A collective excitation behaving as a single emergent entity, known as a quasiparticle, often becomes unstable when encountering a continuum of many-body excited states. However, under certain conditions, the result can be totally different. | Continue reading
A multi-messenger combination of atomic force microscopy, scanning near-field optical microscopy and magnetic force microscopy demonstrates a strain-modulated photoinduced ferromagnetic metallic state in La2/3Ca1/3MnO3. | Continue reading
Detection and attribution typically aims to find long-term climate signals in internal, often short-term variability. Here, common methods are extended to high-frequency temperature and humidity data, detecting instantaneous, global-scale climate change since 1999 for any year an … | Continue reading
