High levels of circular DNA made as immune cells develop increases the risk of leukaemia relapse Summary New work discussed by Rodgers highlights findings from Gao et al. showing that…
Merging of magnetic plasma ‘flux ropes’ is driven by turbulence Summary Experiments reported by Park et al. and discussed by Jeffersson Agudelo Rueda show that the merging of large magnetic…
Kinetic turbulence drives MHD equilibrium change via 3D reconnection Summary This paper reports laboratory experiments (VEST) and 3D particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations showing that kinetic-scale turbulence, driven by high-velocity electron beams,…
Parent-of-origin effects on complex traits in up to 236,781 individuals Key points • The authors developed a scalable, multistep method to infer parental origin (PofO) of alleles across large biobanks…
One-third of Sun-like stars are born with misaligned planet-forming disks Summary This Nature paper reports a statistical study of primordial stellar obliquities for single, young Sun-like stars by comparing stellar…
EBV induces CNS homing of B cells attracting inflammatory T cells Summary This Nature study used humanised mouse models, single-cell RNA sequencing, multiplex imaging and functional migration assays to show…
A global humidity index with lateral hydrologic flows Summary The authors extend the conventional global humidity (aridity) index, GHI = P/PET, by adding lateral hydrologic subsidy (Qlat) from surface and…
Lithium deficiency and the onset of Alzheimer’s disease Summary This Nature study combines human post-mortem metallomics, high-resolution imaging and multiple mouse models to show that endogenous lithium (Li) is reduced…
Optical control of resonances in temporally symmetry-broken metasurfaces Summary This paper demonstrates ultrafast, all-optical control of radiative coupling in dielectric metasurfaces by temporarily breaking photonic symmetry within each unit cell.…
Data-driven de novo design of super-adhesive hydrogels Summary This Nature paper presents an end-to-end, data-driven framework that combines data mining (DM) of adhesive proteins, scalable polymer synthesis and machine learning…
