The ecology of urban segregation

Across many human languages, consonants carry more lexical information than vowels. During speech segmentation, humans, unlike nonhuman primates, rely more on consonant than vowel patterns, despite vo...

Networks of bioelectronic sensors and actuators enable closed-loop therapies that connect distant, related physiological dynamics. Currently, device interactions are limited by communication methods t...

In the years since the pandemic and the political turmoil surrounding the American scientific establishment, much time has been spent discussing why science has lost influence on public policy in the ...

Observations from the JWST reveal an unexpectedly abundant population of little red dots and overmassive black holes in the early Universe, which are confirmed by their formation in fully cosmological...

Scaffolded DNA Computer performs diverse computations while thermodynamically relaxing towards equilibrium, demonstrating simplicity, reusability, speed, robustness and scalability of the approac...

Human brain organoids were developed for over five years in culture to demonstrate that brain cells can continue to mature and record the passage of time, following human-specific endogenous programs,...

Systematic analysis of prokaryotic STAND NTPases — relatives of animal and plant immune receptors — uncovers diverse antiviral sensors that detect most of the core structural and replic...

A compound found in certain mushrooms prevents nerve damage during chemotherapy

Observations of highly irradiated gas giant exoplanets have shown helium escaping from their atmospheres. There is limited evidence for atmospheres on rocky exoplanets, perhaps because they have alrea...

Amid a shortage of human reviewers, tests indicate AI can assist—but is not a savior

A well-preserved fossil snake from the Late Cretaceous of Brazil shows early ecological and brain shape disparity in the group.

Polarization and quantum entanglement measurements of baryon semileptonic decay greatly enhance single-event sensitivity, and combined with lattice quantum chromodynamics calculations enable determina...

Double-slit interferometry at the atomic scale is demonstrated using scanning transmission electron microscopy to provide evidence of interference fringes generated with a focused electron beam encoun...

A new chemistry-based super-resolution imaging framework is described, enabling 3D, laser-free, highly sensitive and ultralong-term imaging of live cells which overcomes the limitations in spatiotempo...

Aggregative multicellularity was key to the evolution of the multicellular animal genetic toolkit.

Analysis of tracking data from Mars orbiters reveals time-variable gravity field behaviour reflecting the structure underlying the Martian crustal dichotomy and indicates the prese...

Global photovoltaic waste will reach 297–402 million tonnes by 2060, and regionally adapted recycling strategies and international cooperation will be needed to provide equitable and scalable PV waste...

Chronic reactivation of distinct herpesviruses and anelloviruses occur during acute and long COVID-19, and track with disease severity, inflammation and outcomes, revealing immune signatures with prog...
