Research across science and medicine will probably shrink at one of the world’s most elite universities amid a new political reality.

Experiment shows how dugout canoes could have crossed treacherous straits from Taiwan to the Ryukyu Islands.

If companies do step in to support research, will they publish the results, or keep them close to their chest?

Modern re-run shows that Arthur Ruhlig’s conclusions, which probably influenced early thinking about fusion energy, were correct, but his numbers were off.

Analysis suggests that 90% of computer vision studies involve imaging humans — plus, the first images from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory.

Male mice that make high levels of fibroblast growth factor 21 stay lean as they age — a finding that could translate to humans.

The majority of papers and patents in a subfield of AI enable surveillance, according to a new study.

Here’s where academic researchers are flocking to — and the topics they’re pursuing.

The coherent bunching of anyons and their dissociation was observed in an interference experiment. 

CMOS-based circuits can be integrated with silicon-based spin qubits and can be controlled at milli-kelvin temperatures, which can potentially help scale up these systems.

A study reports the development of a method to trace intercellular transfer of mitochondria, and demonstrates that cancer cells that receive mitochondria from neurons have enhanced metastatic capabilities.

Using the James Webb Space Telescope's Mid-Infrared Instrument, a study reports evidence for a direct detection of a cold, sub-Jupiter-mass planet in the disk of the star TWA 7. 

In locusts, the aggregation pheromone 4-vinylanisole is derived from dietary phenylalanine, and its production is dependent on two 4-vinylphenol methyltransferases that are potential targets for locust pest control.

A cost-effective all-in-one halide cathode material with high energy density and exceptional cycling stability can be used to achieve energy-dense, durable cathodes for the next generation of all-solid-state batteries.

A new asymmetric non-fullerene acceptor, P2EH-1V, is designed and synthesized for constructing devices demonstrating record-high efficiencies of 26.7% (certified at 26.4%) over an aperture area greater than 1 cm² in perovskite–organic tandem solar cells.

Disruption of dendritic cell (DC) interstitial motility in the tumour microenvironment promotes immune evasion, and enhancement of DC interstitial motility offers a route for DC-centric immunotherapy.

The emergence of universal collective behaviour is demonstrated through collisions of electron droplets containing up to five particles, which exhibit strong all-body correlations characteristic of a Coulomb liquid.

The Nature Relationship Index offers a new way to measure and engage human aspirations to shape a better future for people and all life on Earth.

An RNA codon-expansion strategy enables incorporation of non-canonical amino acids into proteins of interest orthogonally to existing methods by inserting pseudouridine codons into specific mRNA transcripts and using an engineered decoder tRNA.

The Tweety homologue TTYH2 is identified as the lipid transfer mediator for APOE-containing lipoproteins.
