  • In somatic cells the mechanisms maintaining the chromosome ends are normally inactivated; however, cancer cells can re-activate these pathways to support continuous growth. Here, the authors characterize the telomeric landscapes across tumour types and identify genomic alterations associated with different telomere maintenance mechanisms.

  • Superatoms are metal clusters that collectively behave like an atom, but they usually require metal–metal bonding and thus they are based on main group or transition metals. Now it has been shown that trithorium nanoclusters with delocalized three-centre-one-electron thorium–thorium bonding exhibit exalted diamagnetism. This unveils actinide superatoms that exhibit open-shell jellium aromaticity.
