Engineered yeast provides rare but essential pollen sterols for honeybees Summary The study reports metabolic engineering of the oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica to produce the rare pollen sterols required by…
A fluorescent-protein spin qubit Summary The authors demonstrate that a common fluorescent protein (EYFP) can act as an optically addressable spin qubit. Using optically activated delayed fluorescence (OADF) readout and…
Electrochemical loading enhances deuterium fusion rates in a metal target Summary The University of British Columbia team built a benchtop particle accelerator — the “Thunderbird Reactor” — that couples plasma…
Experimental determination of partial charges with electron diffraction Summary This Nature paper introduces iSFAC modelling — an experimental refinement approach applied to 3D electron diffraction data that yields absolute partial…
Targeting G1–S-checkpoint-compromised cancers with cyclin A/B RxL inhibitors Summary This Nature study reports the design, optimisation and preclinical testing of orally bioavailable, cell‑permeable macrocyclic peptides that disrupt RxL‑motif docking on…
Realization of a doped quantum antiferromagnet in a Rydberg tweezer array Summary This Nature paper reports the experimental realisation of a doped quantum antiferromagnet using a programmable Rydberg tweezer array.…
Summary This paper reports eight high-resolution cryo-EM structures of mouse PMCA2 (with and without its accessory subunit neuroplastin/NPTN) trapped in distinct states of the Post–Albers catalytic cycle, combined with whole-cell…
Proximity screening greatly enhances electronic quality of graphene Summary This Nature paper reports that placing atomically thin graphite gates extremely close to hBN‑encapsulated graphene (using ultrathin bottom hBN of 3–4…
Fusion energy gets a boost from cold fusion chemistry Summary Chemists used an electrochemical method to increase deuterium loading in palladium and observed about a 15% rise in deuterium–deuterium fusion…
Structural basis for the dynamic regulation of mTORC1 by amino acids Summary This Nature study reveals how the GATOR2 nutrient‑sensing hub reads leucine and arginine signals to control mTORC1. Using…
