A fluorescent-protein spin qubit Summary This paper demonstrates that enhanced yellow fluorescent protein (EYFP) can act as an optically addressable spin-1 qubit. The authors show optical initialisation, coherent microwave control…
Experimental determination of partial charges with electron diffraction Summary This Nature paper introduces iSFAC modelling: an experimental refinement method that extracts absolute partial charges for every atom in a crystal…
Summary This Nature paper reports the development of cell-permeable, orally bioavailable macrocyclic peptide inhibitors that block RxL-mediated interactions of cyclin A and cyclin B. Dual inhibition of cyclin A/B RxL…
mAChR4 suppresses liver disease via GAP-induced antimicrobial immunity Summary This Nature study shows that muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M4 (mAChR4), expressed in small intestinal goblet cells, drives formation of goblet cell-associated…
Proximity screening greatly enhances electronic quality of graphene Summary This Nature paper reports that placing graphene extremely close (
Fusion energy gets a boost from cold fusion chemistry Summary Researchers report an electrochemical technique that raises low-energy fusion event rates in a desktop reactor. Inspired by historic cold-fusion claims,…
UAE Adds Newborns To Major Genome Project Summary Abu Dhabi is expanding its national genome sequencing programme by offering voluntary at-birth sequencing for Emirati newborns. The programme — run by…
UAE Adds Newborns To Major Genome Project Summary Abu Dhabi is expanding a national genomic sequencing programme to include at-birth sequencing for Emirati newborns. The firm M42, which runs the…
Summary A new review analysed 672 studies (published from the 1920s through 2023) of portable and room air-cleaning technologies — HEPA filters, ultraviolet (UV) systems, ventilation approaches and other engineered…
Serbian Scientists Experiment With Mealworms To Degrade Polystyrene Summary Serbian researchers at Belgrade’s Institute for Biology have been testing whether yellow mealworm larvae (Tenebrio molitor) can be trained to eat…
