3D-printed micro ion trap technology for quantum information applications Summary This Nature paper demonstrates a route to fabricate miniature trapped-ion electrode structures using high-resolution two-photon polymerisation (2PP) 3D printing, followed…
Adaptive and context-aware volumetric printing Summary This Nature paper introduces GRACE (Generative, Adaptive, Context-Aware 3D Printing), a workflow that combines tomographic volumetric printing with light-sheet imaging, computer vision and parametric…
Training of physical neural networks Summary This article reviews and synthesises recent advances in training “physical neural networks” (PNNs) — systems that use physical media (optical, electronic, mechanical, magnetic, etc.)…
A nanobody specific to prefusion glycoprotein B neutralizes HSV-1 and HSV-2 Summary This Nature paper reports the discovery and structural characterisation of a prefusion-specific nanobody (Nb1_gbHSV) that neutralises both HSV-1…
Brain-wide representations of prior information in mouse decision-making Summary This study from the International Brain Laboratory examines how mice represent and use prior information when making perceptual decisions. Mice performed…
Patterned invagination prevents mechanical instability during gastrulation Summary This study shows that the prominent but transient cephalic furrow in dipteran embryos (notably Drosophila) plays a mechanical role during gastrulation: it…
Spatial joint profiling of DNA methylome and transcriptome in tissues Summary This Nature paper presents spatial-DMT, a spatial multi-omics method that simultaneously profiles the DNA methylome and transcriptome from the…
A circuit that integrates drive state and social contact to gate mating Summary This Nature paper identifies a neural gate that times the switch from appetitive to consummatory male mating…
Single-cell transcriptomic and genomic changes in the ageing human brain Summary This study applies droplet-based single-nucleus RNA-sequencing (snRNA-seq), single-cell whole-genome sequencing (scWGS) and MERFISH spatial transcriptomics to human prefrontal cortex…
Analog optical computer for AI inference and combinatorial optimization Summary The paper introduces the analog optical computer (AOC), a hybrid opto-electronic platform that runs entirely in the analog domain to…
