High levels of circular DNA made as immune cells develop increases the risk of leukaemia relapse Summary Gao et al. (reported in Nature and discussed by Karla K. Rodgers) describe…
Merging of magnetic plasma ‘flux ropes’ is driven by turbulence Summary Laboratory experiments reported in Nature show that the merging of large magnetic plasma structures (flux ropes) is driven by…
Kinetic turbulence drives MHD equilibrium change via 3D reconnection Summary This paper reports experiments on the Versatile Experiment Spherical Torus (VEST) and supporting 3D particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations showing that beam-driven…
Parent-of-origin effects on complex traits in up to 236,781 individuals Summary This study presents a scalable, multistep method to infer parental origin (PofO) of alleles at biobank scale and uses…
One-third of Sun-like stars are born with misaligned planet-forming disks Summary This study combines ALMA measurements of outer protoplanetary-disk inclinations with stellar inclinations inferred from rotation (v sin i, radius…
EBV induces CNS homing of B cells attracting inflammatory T cells Summary This Nature paper reports that Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) infection drives a specific B cell programme that promotes central…
A global humidity index with lateral hydrologic flows Summary This paper introduces a revised global humidity index (GHI_topo) that incorporates lateral hydrologic subsidies (Qlat) from surface and groundwater into the…
Lithium deficiency and the onset of Alzheimer’s disease Summary This Nature study reports that endogenous lithium (Li) is reduced in the prefrontal cortex of people with amnestic mild cognitive impairment…
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. The authors introduce “restored…
Data-driven de novo design of super-adhesive hydrogels Summary This Nature paper describes an end-to-end data-driven workflow that combines data mining (DM) of adhesive proteins, scalable polymer synthesis and machine learning…
