Evidence of vacuum-enhanced superconductivity discovered in NbSe2
For decades, superconductivity has been treated as a property controlled primarily by temperature, magnetic fields, chemical composition and pressure. A new experiment now suggests that...
Feed-Forward Photonic Meshes Enable Programmable Optical Filters
A new generation of optical filters could make advanced communications systems faster, more adaptable and far less dependent on fixed hardware. Researchers have reported programmable...
Rosiglitazone protects against renal ischemia-reperfusion-induced lung injury via HMGB1/MYH9-PPARγ pathway
Acute kidney injury can damage far more than the kidneys. When renal blood flow is interrupted and then restored, the resulting ischemia–reperfusion injury can trigger...
VITAL predicts peptide–protein interactions quantitatively while accounting for molecular interfaces
Peptide–protein interactions sit at the center of many biological processes, from cellular signaling and immune regulation to the action of peptide hormones and emerging therapeutics....
Co-Packaged Optics Could Boost High-Performance Computing and Artificial Intelligence
The next great leap in artificial intelligence may depend on a technology that does not make processors faster at all. Instead, it may come from...
Room-Temperature Cavity-Magnonic Source Generates Correlated Microwave Magnon-Polariton Pairs
Microwave technology is entering a new phase in which quantum behavior may no longer be confined to dilution refrigerators and laboratory-scale cryogenic systems. In a...
Study uncovers hidden drivers behind aggressive childhood cancers
Children with rhabdomyosarcoma whose tumours lack the genetic marker traditionally associated with the most dangerous form of the disease may nevertheless harbour cancer cells with...
Quantum Simulators Gain Reliable Error Estimates
Quantum simulators have long promised to reveal how complex quantum matter behaves—systems so difficult to calculate that even the most powerful conventional computers can quickly...
Calcified Tissue International and Musculoskeletal Research Names New Co-Editors-in-Chief
The International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF) has announced a major change in the scientific leadership of Calcified Tissue International and Musculoskeletal Research, one of the field’s...
New necroferrins strategy simultaneously targets necroptosis and ferroptosis
A new review in Ferroptosis and Oxidative Stress examines whether one class of compounds could suppress two interconnected forms of regulated cell death at the...
Delayed Bioorthogonal-Like STING Activation Enhances mRNA Vaccine Antitumor Immunity
A new mRNA vaccine strategy designed to activate antitumor immunity without undermining the production of vaccine antigens has shown promising results in mouse models, according...
Flowering Plants’ Taxonomic Traits Reveal a Globally Consistent Biogeographic Pattern
Plants may look wildly different from one continent to another, yet a new global analysis suggests that the world’s flowering vegetation is organized by a...
Cortical thinning precedes high amyloid levels by at least seven years
A new study in Nature Neuroscience reports that changes in the thickness of the cerebral cortex can appear at least seven years before amyloid reaches...
Microwave Plasmonic Resonators Reach Deep-Subwavelength Exceptional Point to Boost Sensing
A new study has reported a way to push exceptional-point physics into an unusually small microwave platform, creating a deep-subwavelength plasmonic resonator that could make...
