New Insights Reveal How the Atlantic Circulation Changes and Moves
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC, has long been described as one of Earth’s great climate engines: a vast ocean conveyor that moves warm...
New chip replicates how cancer spreads through the body
Cancer’s deadliest move is often not the growth of the original tumor, but its ability to travel. Metastasis, the spread of malignant cells from a...
Mussels Show Signs of Fear, Too
For a blue mussel, eating can be a dangerous business. The animal survives by filtering seawater through its body, extracting microscopic algae and other particles...
Ultrafast Activation of Strong Coupling in a Semiconductor Terahertz Fabry-Pérot Cavity
A new study reports a way to switch on strong light–matter coupling inside a semiconductor terahertz cavity almost instantaneously, opening a path toward optical devices...
Organobismuth Transporter Enables Regioselective α-Arylation of Diverse Carbonyl Compounds
A new strategy for building carbon–carbon bonds could give synthetic chemists a more precise way to modify one of the most common structural motifs in...
Modeling Anti-Ov16 Seroprevalence to Guide Onchocerciasis Elimination
Onchocerciasis, commonly known as river blindness, remains one of the world’s most persistent neglected tropical diseases, despite decades of mass drug administration and major reductions...
Author Correction: Designing Impactful Citizen-Science Projects in Microbiome Research
Citizen science is moving into one of biology’s most complex frontiers: the human microbiome, the vast community of bacteria, archaea, fungi, viruses and other microscopic...
Bioresorbable Phototransistors Enable Programmable Polyphasic Stimulation
A new generation of light-controlled medical electronics could make temporary neural interfaces less invasive and easier to control. In a study published in Nature Electronics,...
Obesity Shows Normal Dopamine Uptake on [18F]FDOPA PET Imaging
Dopamine has long been cast as the brain’s “motivation molecule,” a chemical messenger that helps shape reward, learning, movement and the effort people are willing...
Proteomics identifies two reproducible sepsis-associated kidney injury subtypes with distinct outcomes
A new study published in Nature Communications reports that sepsis-associated acute kidney injury, one of the most dangerous complications of severe infection, is not a...

Glioblastoma’s Next Target: Why Precision Drugs Are Still Struggling to Defeat the Brain’s Most Aggressive Cancer Glioblastoma remains the most lethal primary brain tumour in...
Baseline clinical features outperform MRI in predicting rapid cognitive-motor decline in Parkinson’s
Parkinson’s disease may be entering a new era of prediction, in which the earliest clues to a patient’s future are found not inside a brain...
Recurrent Cystitis Linked to Urologic Cancer Risk in Nationwide Study
A common bladder infection may be prompting a much bigger medical question than doctors once assumed. A nationwide population-based study published in the British Journal...
On-Chip Nonvolatile All-Optical Accelerator for Residual Neural Networks
Light could soon become more than a carrier of data. In a new study published in Light: Science & Applications, researchers report an on-chip, non-volatile,...
