This work extends optical tweezing, long used to manipulate physical objects, to topological magnetic quasiparticles: skyrmions. A photothermal tweezer traps, transports, creates and annihilates single skyrmions, enabling fully programmable control.

Pixel size in imaging and displays is limited by fundamental constraints that compromise performance at wavelength scales. Here the authors present subwavelength color pixel sensors based on anti-Hermitian metasurfaces relying on structural color for increased performance.

Chronic care manages long-term, progressive conditions, while acute care handles short-term ones. Here, authors show chronic conditions account for most of the global health burden, with 68% of DALYs and 93% of YLDs attributed to chronic care needs.

Molybdenum disulphide offers some tantalizing advantages over graphene as a material with which to fabricate field-effect transistors. Kimet al. present a comprehensive study of field-effect transistors made from multilayer samples of MoS₂and find that they can achieve high carrier mobilities.

This large-scale cross-ancestry genome-wide association study reveals the genetic architecture of serum urate across ancestries and identifies urate-associated diseases and potential targets of urate-lowering drugs.

A CRISPR-Cas system allows editing of the genome in zebrafish embryos.

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is a therapeutic option for the treatment of breast cancer. Here, the authors characterize changes in the gene expression profiles and immune microenvironment in serial breast cancer biopsies taken before, during and after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

The impact of obesity on cancer remains insufficiently explored. Here the authors show that in mouse models, dysfunctional adipocytes exhibit low levels of BECN1 which induce YAP/TAZ activity to promote breast and colorectal tumor progression.

Won et al. compare genetic associations with subjective well-being in Korean and European populations, and show significant cross-population genetic correlations

Jung et al. show the existence of polygenic overlap and associations between subjective well-being and psychiatric disorders.

This study shows that plants form epidermal cells anew to protect a vulnerable new surface exposed by organ abscission while facilitating the subsequent growth of tissue and fruit at the abscission site.

Metallic van der Waals magnets have considerable technological promise, due to their ability to be strongly coupled with electronic currents and integrated in two dimensional heterostructures. Here, Seo et al. demonstrate highly tunable itinerant antiferromagnetism in a van der Waals magnet.

Spin torques with different origins enable the magnetic domain wall motion, but the contributions are hard to be distinguished. Here, the authors show the method to measure both spin-magnetization transfer torque and spin–orbit torque by using mountain-shaped domains with straight domain walls.

mTOR signalling regulates protein synthesis in response to changes in nutrient availability. Chang et al.demonstrate that mTOR can stimulate translation by promoting the shortening of mRNA 3′-untranslated regions, and that expression of ubiquitin ligases is selectively enhanced by this mechanism.

Mesoporous metal–organic frameworks containing unsaturated Cr(III) sites are able to thermodynamically and selectively capture nitrogen from mixtures with oxygen and methane.

The fabrication of smart textiles is currently relying on the printing of ultrathin electronics on fabric, which is subject to the poor adhesion between electronics and textile. Here, Yoon et al. propose the use of cilia-like structure to improve adhesion in addition to release mechanical stress.

Right- and left-handed spin-wave modes are identified in ferrimagnets, and their dynamics are revealed.

Here, we investigated the details of magnetic skyrmion bubble domain formation by a tilted magnetic field. The in-plane component of the magnetic field serves to reduce the width of the stripe domain. These stripe domains are easily broken and bubble domains are formed. We have demonstrated that the key parameter determining the stripe domain instability is the stripe width, regardless of other material parameters. This bubble generation method can be applicable to generic magnetic films with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. Our work will facilitate the development of skyrmion-based devices by offering a general method for controlling a large skyrmion population.

Primordazine inhibits poly(A)-tail-independent noncanonical translation (PAINT) in early zebrafish embryos and in mammalian cells under select conditions, an effect mediated by deadenylated 3ʹ UTRs that results in ablation of primordial germ cells.

CAR-T targets are identified using logic gates and single-cell expression data.

The plasma membrane’s electrical potential is maintained by ion channels, though the impact of this potential on cell fate has not been clearly elucidated. Here they show that changes in membrane potential can affect calcium levels and mTOR in pluripotent stem cells, altering their transition from pluripotency to differentiation.

A key factor for the electrochemical reduction of CO₂ to CO is limiting the competing H₂ evolution reaction. Here, authors use real-time synchrotron X-ray computed tomography to show that a silver nanoparticle-ligand catalyst structure improves water management, thereby maintaining CO production.

Mouse fibroblasts can be simultaneously directly reprogrammed into cardiomyocytes, endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells to form cardiac tissue structures that improve cardiac function on implantation into infarcted mouse hearts.

Stretchable and degradable elastomers are crucial for developing transient and bioresorbable electronics. Herein, Han et al. tuned the diverse properties of biodegradable PLCL elastomers and demonstrated their application in soft, perceptive robotic grippers and transient, suture-free cardiac jackets.

Reversible multifunctionality in electrocatalysts can allow voltage reversal during device operation. Here, authors design a crystalline Ir-based electrocatalyst with a thin reversible metallic-Ir/IrO_x layer that shows activity for O₂ evolution, H₂ evolution, and H₂ oxidation.

Electronic skin that spatially maps pressure distribution through imaging shows limited performance despite improvements to data acquisition. Here, the authors report ultraflexible, transparent electroluminescent skin capable of high-resolution imaging of pressure distribution over 3D surfaces.

A highly conductive, biocompatible and stretchable nanocomposite based on ultralong gold-coated silver nanowires allows for the realization of wearable and implantable bioelectronics.
