A humidity measure that accounts for redistribution of water across the landscape Summary A new global humidity index developed by Miguez-Macho and Fan (2025) adds lateral hydrologic flows — surface…
Calving-driven fjord dynamics resolved by seafloor fibre sensing Content summary This Nature paper reports a field deployment of seafloor distributed fibre sensing (DAS and DTS) across the fjord in front…
Photophoretic flight of perforated structures in near-space conditions Summary This Nature paper demonstrates that ultralight, perforated membrane structures can generate measurable photophoretic lift under near-space (very low pressure) conditions. The…
Watch rappelling robots dive into a lava tube — for science Summary Researchers tested a team of three autonomous robots in a lava tube on Lanzarote, Spain, to evaluate strategies…
The genomic origin of the unique chaetognath body plan Summary This Nature paper presents a chromosome-scale genome assembly, regulatory maps (Hi-C, ATAC‑seq, enzymatic methylome), and a single-cell transcriptomic atlas for…
Delocalized electrolyte design enables 600 Wh kg−1 lithium metal pouch cells Summary This Nature paper reports a new “delocalized electrolyte” concept that intentionally creates a more disordered Li+ solvation microenvironment…
n-Type thermoelectric elastomers Summary Researchers report one of the first n-type thermoelectric elastomers, created by combining uniform bulk nanophase separation, thermally activated crosslinking and targeted n-doping in a single material…
Multiple oestradiol functions inhibit ferroptosis and acute kidney injury Summary This Nature study shows that female kidneys are intrinsically more resistant to acute kidney injury (AKI) because oestradiol acts by…
Expanding the cytokine receptor alphabet reprograms T cells into diverse states Summary This study uses an orthogonal IL-2/IL-2Rβ platform to swap intracellular domains (ICDs) from different cytokine receptors onto a…
NASP modulates histone turnover to drive PARP inhibitor resistance Content summary This Nature paper reports that the histone chaperone NASP stabilises chromatin-released histones and thereby enables resistance to PARP inhibitors…
