Photophoretic flight of perforated structures in near-space conditions Summary This Nature paper demonstrates that ultralight, perforated membrane structures can generate sufficient photophoretic lift to levitate and fly in near-space (low-pressure)…
Summary This Nature paper demonstrates how submarine distributed fibre sensing (DAS for acoustic/strain and DTS for temperature) deployed on a 10-km seafloor cable adjacent to the Eqalorutsit Kangilliit Sermiat (EKaS)…
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…
Delocalized electrolyte design enables 600 Wh kg−1 lithium metal pouch cells Summary The authors introduce a “delocalized” electrolyte concept that creates a more disordered Li+ solvation microenvironment to reduce kinetic…
The genomic origin of the unique chaetognath body plan Summary This Nature paper presents a chromosome-scale genome and multi-omic atlas for the arrow worm Paraspadella gotoi, combined with single-cell RNA-sequencing,…
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 Red-C, ChIP–seq, PLA, TEM and genetic knockouts to…
Human emissions drive recent trends in North Pacific climate variations Summary The paper revisits the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) and shows that the main multidecadal variations in the PDO index…
Multiple oestradiol functions inhibit ferroptosis and acute kidney injury Summary This Nature study shows that female kidneys are intrinsically resistant to ferroptosis-driven acute tubular necrosis (ATN) and acute kidney injury…
Establishment of chromatin architecture interplays with embryo hypertranscription Summary This Nature study dissects how three-dimensional (3D) chromatin architecture is established de novo during early mouse embryogenesis and how that process…
Clone copy number diversity is linked to survival in lung cancer Summary This Nature paper introduces ALPACA, a computational method that infers allele- and clone-specific copy-number profiles from multi-sample bulk…
