Understanding the genetic controls of ageing could lead to more therapies that forestall it.

Field pennycress could become a valuable winter crop, with benefits for both carbon storage and farm profitability.

Risk associated with genetically defined forms of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can propagate by means of transcriptional regulation to affect convergently dysregulated pathways, providing insight into the convergent impact of ASD genetic risk on human neurodevelopment.

De-synchronized electrical activity marks the loss of awareness.

The preprint repository’s requirement could boost the use of large language models to translate scientific texts.

An open-source program helps researchers bypass a major bottleneck in the process chemical synthesis.

The external, artificial-lung system could be used to treat other people who are critically unwell and awaiting transplants.

Despite attempts by many universities to modernize their policies on working conditions and misconduct, the academic system has pushed back. Here’s how to ensure lasting change.

Online discussions can catch errors or fraud in articles that can be missed in peer review.

Better air quality, disease diagnostics and treatment will improve lung health.

Why going the extra mile might make you feel good — plus, how extreme weather events could increase the burden of malaria in Africa.

New data are revealing the benefits of exercising little and often.

Projected impacts of climate change on malaria burden in Africa by 2050 highlight the urgent need for climate-resilient malaria control strategies and robust emergency response systems to safeguard progress towards malaria eradication.

Amplification and optimal noise filtering in hyperpolarized noble-gas spins of observations from distributed intercity quantum sensors monitoring for unexpected transient rotations of polarized spins set parameter range constraints in the search for axion dark matter.

The existence of a long-lived, prethermal regime in many-body systems with tunable heating rates, driven by structured random protocols, is observed using a 78-qubit superconducting quantum processor.

Emu3 enables large-scale text, image and video learning based solely on next-token prediction, matching the generation and perception performance of task-specific methods, with implications for the development of scalable and unified multimodal intelligence systems.

Using a wafer-scale monolayer 2D MoS₂ process instead of conventional silicon-based devices to manufacture components of spaceborne communication systems demonstrates radiation tolerance, low bit error rate and long-term stability, even under much harsher radiation environments.

A quantitative framework for atomic electron tomography enables reliable determination of three-dimensional (3D) atomic coordinates and elemental identities in amorphous materials.

Muscularis macrophages, housekeepers of enteric nervous system integrity and intestinal homeostasis, modulate α-synuclein pathology and neurodegeneration in models of Parkinson’s disease, and understanding the accompanying mechanisms could pave the way for early-stage biomarkers.
