Direct and full-scale experimental verifications towards ground–satellite quantum key distribution

Full-scale verifications for establishing quantum cryptography communication via satellites are reported. Three independent experiments using a hot-air balloon are performed: on a rapidly moving platform over a distance of 40 km, on a floating platform over a distance of 20 km, and over 96 km in air with a huge loss.

Insights into the ecological roles and evolution of methyl-coenzyme M reductase-containing hot spring Archaea

Methane metabolism by some lineages of Archaea contributes to the cycling of carbon on Earth. Here, the authors show high diversity of methyl-coenzyme M reductase (Mcr), a key enzyme associated with archaeal methane/alkane metabolism, in hot spring Archaea, and investigate their ecological roles and evolution.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly aggressive metastatic disease characterized by an immunosuppressive microenvironment. Here the authors show that a subset of P2RX1-negative neutrophils with immunosuppressive properties accumulate in PDAC metastatic liver tissues and promote tumor growth.
