Supervised learning in DNA neural networks Content summary This paper reports a DNA-based molecular system that implements supervised learning and subsequent classification entirely in vitro. The authors design two new…
3D-printed micro ion trap technology for quantum information applications Summary This Nature paper reports a practical route to fabricate micro ion traps by high-resolution 3D printing (two-photon polymerisation) followed by…
Adaptive and context-aware volumetric printing Summary This Nature paper introduces GRACE (Generative, Adaptive, Context-Aware 3D Printing), a workflow that merges tomographic volumetric printing with light-sheet imaging, computer vision and parametric…
Training of physical neural networks Summary This Nature review surveys the emerging field of physical neural networks (PNNs) — analogue, physics-based systems that perform neural-like computation. The authors assess current…
Summary This Nature paper reports the discovery and structural characterisation of a prefusion-specific camelid single-domain antibody (nanobody), named Nb1_gbHSV, that potently neutralises both herpes simplex virus 1 and 2 (HSV-1…
Brain-wide representations of prior information in mouse decision-making Summary This Nature paper from the International Brain Laboratory uses brain-wide electrophysiology (Neuropixels) and wide-field calcium imaging in mice performing a visual…
Patterned invagination prevents mechanical instability during gastrulation Summary This study integrates live imaging, genetics, laser perturbations and a particle–spring physical model to show that the cephalic furrow — a patterned…
Spatial joint profiling of DNA methylome and transcriptome in tissues Summary This paper introduces spatial‑DMT, a spatial multi‑omics method that simultaneously profiles the DNA methylome (mCG and mCH) and the…
A circuit that integrates drive state and social contact to gate mating Summary This Nature paper identifies a neural circuit that gates the transition from appetitive to consummatory male mating…
Single-cell transcriptomic and genomic changes in the ageing human brain Summary This study uses single-nucleus RNA-sequencing (snRNA-seq), single-cell whole-genome sequencing (scWGS) and spatial transcriptomics (MERFISH) on human prefrontal cortex (PFC)…
