A new study has introduced a molecular reporter designed to show, in real time, how human cells detect DNA damage and chromosome instability—two forms of genomic trouble that can transform ordinary...

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a genetic heart disease that can thicken the cardiac muscle and disrupt its ability to pump efficiently, may have a broader drug treatment...
A widely used antiviral drug could be made through a radically different chemical route—one that turns carbon dioxide and phosphite into foscarnet using electricity and...
A new study has introduced a molecular reporter designed to show, in real time, how human cells detect DNA damage and chromosome instability—two forms of...
Europe’s most familiar birds and butterflies may continue to disappear from the landscape even if governments achieve major conservation goals, according to a continent-wide modelling...
A new artificial-intelligence-based approach could make one of genetics’ most difficult problems substantially easier: determining which single-letter changes in DNA are harmless and which can...
Medical artificial intelligence is often presented as a story about algorithms: larger datasets, faster processors and increasingly sophisticated models that can detect disease, predict clinical...
Cancer immunotherapy has gained a hybrid new contender: a living cell engineered by fusing two immune-system specialists into one tumor-hunting unit. In a study published...
The lithium-metal battery has long been regarded as the ultimate prize in rechargeable energy storage: lithium is exceptionally light, and a metallic lithium anode can...
Seeing a brain think in real time has long been one of neuroscience’s most ambitious goals. A new study reported in Nature Methods brings that...
A new class of implantable bioelectronics could make one of the most frustrating problems in medical-device care visible from outside the body. Researchers have developed...
A quantum-optics technique first developed to measure the apparent sizes of stars has been repurposed to reveal how tiny materials emit light after being struck...
Nanoplastics may be almost impossible to see, but that does not make them biologically insignificant. Particles smaller than a micrometre can move through environmental systems,...
A fish fin can lose a substantial portion of its skeletal structure and still rebuild itself to remarkably precise proportions. A new study of zebrafish...
A molecular motor that hauls cargo through the interior of cells appears to advance in a surprisingly intricate rhythm: each productive movement is preceded by...
Diamond is famous for being exceptionally hard, but hardness has always come with a serious weakness: brittleness. A diamond can resist scratching and indentation better...
