Photophoretic flight of perforated structures in near-space conditions Summary This Nature paper demonstrates that ultralight, perforated membrane structures can generate appreciable photophoretic lift in low-pressure, near-space conditions. The authors combine…
Calving-driven fjord dynamics resolved by seafloor fibre sensing Summary This study deploys a 10-km subsea fibre‑optic cable with simultaneous Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) and Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) at the…
n-Type thermoelectric elastomers Summary This Nature paper reports one of the first intrinsically elastic n-type thermoelectric materials. The team combined uniform bulk nanophase separation, thermally activable crosslinking and targeted n‑doping…
Summary This Nature paper presents a new “delocalised” electrolyte strategy that deliberately breaks the dominance of single solvation structures to create a more disordered solvation microenvironment. By doing so the…
The genomic origin of the unique chaetognath body plan Summary This Nature paper presents a chromosome-scale genome, regulatory maps (Hi-C, ATAC–seq, methylome) and a single-cell atlas for the arrow worm…
Elementary 3D organization of active and silenced E. coli genome Summary This study uses ultra-high-resolution Micro-C (down to ~10 bp) together with complementary methods (Red-C, Hi-C, ChIP–seq, PLA, TEM, in…
Human emissions drive recent trends in North Pacific climate variations Summary This Nature paper shows that the main multidecadal changes in the Pacific decadal oscillation (PDO) during the twentieth century…
Multiple oestradiol functions inhibit ferroptosis and acute kidney injury Summary This Nature study dissects why female kidneys tolerate acute injury better than male kidneys. Using mouse ischaemia–reperfusion injury (IRI), isolated…
Establishment of chromatin architecture interplays with embryo hypertranscription Summary This Nature paper maps the dynamic establishment of 3D chromatin architecture during early mouse embryogenesis and shows it is tightly coupled…
Clone copy number diversity is linked to survival in lung cancer Summary This Nature paper introduces ALPACA, a computational method that infers allele-specific, clone-level copy-number profiles from multi-sample bulk DNA…
