China’s photovoltaic industry may hold one of the most consequential timing decisions in the global energy transition: when, exactly, should solar manufacturers intensify their own...
Cancer does not merely grow around immune cells; it continually rewires them. A review by J. Noh, J. Lee, C. You and colleagues examines how...
Bacteria are engaged in a perpetual molecular arms race with bacteriophages, the viruses that infect them. Phages inject genetic material into bacterial cells and redirect...
A molecular handshake between a neuronal adhesion protein and a cell-surface receptor may help explain why some brain tumors behave less like isolated masses and...
Malaria research has long focused on the parasite’s ability to invade red blood cells, evade immune defenses and alter the biology of its human host....
The rapid expansion of data centers across the United States is creating an urgent demand for reliable, efficient electricity. Facilities that run artificial intelligence systems,...
A fertilizer made from marine purple bacteria is drawing attention as a possible way to make vegetable production more efficient while reducing agriculture’s climate footprint....
Parkinson’s disease is often introduced through its most visible symptom: tremor. Yet for many patients, the condition is far more expansive, affecting sleep, mood, cognition,...
Mycoviruses—viruses that infect fungi—are emerging as important regulators of fungal chemistry, according to research by Favaretto, Varotto, Kondo and colleagues published in npj Viruses. Rather...
Robot-assisted surgery is often portrayed as the ultimate expression of precision medicine: a surgeon seated at a console, controlling miniature instruments that move through tiny...
Lung cancer remains the world’s most commonly diagnosed cancer and one of its deadliest diseases, but a new artificial intelligence system could help physicians reach...
Allergic inflammation in the skin may set the stage for life-threatening reactions elsewhere in the body through a previously unrecognized immune pathway, according to a...
The insula, a folded region tucked deep within the lateral sulcus of the cerebral cortex, is emerging as one of neuroscience’s most important—and most complicated—research...
Psychedelic drugs are moving rapidly from counterculture to clinical science, but one central question continues to frustrate researchers: how can the same compound produce therapeutic...
Parkinson’s disease has long been studied through the lenses of aging, genetics and the nervous system’s response to environmental stress. Now, a nationwide analysis published...
