Hierarchical materials from fused silk

Natural silk, mechanically strong and biodegradable, offers great potential for sustainable functional materials. Here the authors present a simple thermomechanical method for fabricating high-performance structural and optically active materials directly from silk fibres.

Growth form and lifespan of herbaceous species mediate the role of traits in short-term drought response

Using 63 globally distributed grassland and shrubland sites from the International Drought Experiment, this study identified plant traits linked to drought resistance after 1 year of extreme drought across growth forms, lifespans and climate.

High-precision measurement of the W boson mass with the CMS experiment

The CMS experiment at CERN reports one of the highest-precision measurements of the W boson mass, finding it in line with standard model predictions and at odds with recent anomalous measurements.

Determination of the spin and parity of all-charm tetraquarks

The CMS Collaboration reports the measurement of the spin, parity, and charge conjugation properties of all-charm tetraquarks, exotic fleeting particles formed in proton–proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider.

Living plastics from plasticizer-assisted thermal molding of silk protein

Living materials align with sustainability goals, but usually face challenges such as limited environmental adaptability and restricted cellular functionality. Here, the authors report a sustainable plasticizer-assisted thermoplastic molding process to develop silk protein-based living plastics with dense structures, functioning as protective matrices for encapsulated microorganisms.

Elliptic anisotropy measurement of the f₀(980) hadron in proton-lead collisions and evidence for its quark-antiquark composition

The quark structure of the f₀(980) hadron is still unknown after 50 years of its discovery. Here, the CMS Collaboration reports a measurement of the elliptic flow of the f₀(980) state in proton-lead collisions at a nucleon-nucleon centre-of-mass energy of 8.16 TeV, providing strong evidence that the state is an ordinary meson.

Measurement of the Higgs boson width and evidence of its off-shell contributions to ZZ production

The CMS Collaboration reports evidence for off-shell Higgs boson contributions in the production of Z boson pairs, and measures the width of the Higgs boson, which is inversely related to its lifetime.

Observation of triple J/ψ meson production in proton-proton collisions

The CMS Collaboration reports the study of three simultaneous hard interactions between quarks and gluons in proton–proton collisions. This manifests through the concurrent production of three J/ψ mesons, which consist of a charm-quark–antiquark pair.

A portrait of the Higgs boson by the CMS experiment ten years after the discovery

The most up-to-date combination of results on the properties of the Higgs boson is reported, which indicate that its properties are consistent with the standard model predictions, within the precision achieved to date.

Observation of the rare B_s⁰ →µ⁺µ⁻ decay from the combined analysis of CMS and LHCb data

Combined analysis of proton-proton collision data from the Large Hadron Collider at CERN by the CMS and LHCb collaborations leads to the observation of the extremely rare decay of the strange B meson into muons; the result is compatible with the standard model of particle physics, and does not show any signs of new physics, such as supersymmetry.
