Earth’s capacity to store carbon could max out surprisingly soon Summary The article reports on a new Nature study that sharply revises down the practical global capacity for geologic carbon…
Summary This Nature paper uses allele-specific open‑chromatin (ASoC) mapping in human iPSC‑derived microglia (iMGs), astrocytes and neurons to prioritise functional Alzheimer’s disease (LOAD) GWAS variants. The authors identify the non‑coding…
Amygdala–liver signalling orchestrates glycaemic responses to stress Summary This Nature study identifies a previously unrecognised neural axis linking the medial amygdala (MeA) to the ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH) and, via sympathetic…
‘Almost unimaginable’: these ants are different species but share a mother Summary Researchers report that queens of the Iberian harvester ant (Messor ibericus) can produce male offspring that are genetically…
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…
Commensal yeast promotes Salmonella Typhimurium virulence Summary This Nature paper reports a mechanistic interkingdom interaction in the gut: the commensal fungus Candida albicans can increase the virulence of Salmonella Typhimurium…
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…
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…
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)…
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…
