Supervised learning in DNA neural networks Summary This Nature paper describes a DNA-based molecular system that performs supervised learning and subsequent classification in vitro. The team built a multi-layer DNA…
3D-printed micro ion trap technology for quantum information applications Summary Researchers report a 3D-printed micro ion trap fabrication approach tailored for trapped-ion quantum information hardware. Using high-resolution two-photon polymerisation (2PP)…
Adaptive and context-aware volumetric printing Summary This paper introduces GRACE (Generative, Adaptive, Context-Aware 3D Printing), a workflow that combines tomographic volumetric printing with light-sheet imaging, computer vision and parametric modelling…
Training of physical neural networks Key points • Physical neural networks (PNNs) use analogue physical systems (optical, electronic, mechanical, quantum, etc.) to compute, moving computation into physics rather than pure…
A nanobody specific to prefusion glycoprotein B neutralises HSV-1 and HSV-2 Summary This Nature paper reports the discovery and structural characterisation of a prefusion-specific alpaca-derived nanobody, Nb1_gbHSV, that neutralises both…
Summary This Nature paper from the International Brain Laboratory examines where and how prior information is represented in the mouse brain during a visual decision-making task. Using electrophysiology (Neuropixels) from…
Patterned invagination prevents mechanical instability during gastrulation Content summary This study shows that the cephalic furrow — a prominent but apparently transient epithelial fold at the head–trunk boundary in Drosophila…
Spatial joint profiling of DNA methylome and transcriptome in tissues Summary This paper introduces spatial-DMT, a new spatial multi-omics method that simultaneously profiles genome-wide DNA methylation and RNA transcription from…
A circuit that integrates drive state and social contact to gate mating Summary This study identifies a thalamic gate that times the switch from appetitive to consummatory mating behaviour in…
Single-cell transcriptomic and genomic changes in the ageing human brain Summary This study combines droplet-based single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq), single-cell whole-genome sequencing (scWGS using PTA) and MERFISH spatial transcriptomics on…
