A deep-learning design sidesteps the need for time-consuming drug-screening.

Researchers welcome the initiative, but say it doesn’t go far enough to capture the nuance of researcher productivity and impact.

A theoretical study suggests that gravity could have quantum effects without itself being a quantum theory. Other researchers aren’t so sure.

Florida’s primary reef-building corals have been declared ‘functionally extinct’ — prompting a shift in conservation strategies.

Civets enrich coffee beans they eat and excrete with two fatty acids often used in dairy products, study finds.

Researchers unpick the neural mechanisms of how hunger and hormones lead to aggressive behaviours in mice — plus, what gen-AI could mean for universities and students’ education.

Vaccine research will fall behind if funding and public support continue to wane.

By applying the full framework of quantum field theory, it is shown that local classical theories of gravity can transmit quantum information and, thus, generate entanglement through physical, local processes.

Decoded quantum interferometry is a quantum algorithm that uses the quantum Fourier transform to reduce optimization problems to decoding problems.

The bacterial ubiquitin ligase NleL evades host defence mechanisms both by inhibiting pyroptosis and by preventing infected intestinal epithelial cells from being extruded into the lumen and expelled in the faeces.

Copper-impurity-free Si₃N₄ photonic integrated circuits reduce thermal absorption and enable robust, deterministic soliton generation.

A metallic p-wave magnet with commensurate spin helix and anisotropic electronic properties is experimentally realized and shows a giant anomalous Hall effect when distorted by a tiny spontaneous magnetization.

Extensive oxidative potential measurements from across Europe analysed with the two most common assays, dithiothreitol and ascorbic acid, using a standardized protocol show the strong influence of site type and suggest pathways for mitigation strategies.

Studies using human pluripotent stem cells and a mouse model of Down syndrome identify HMGN1 as a key contributor to congenital heart defects in individuals with Down syndrome.

A circular economy approach applied to the global lithium-ion battery supply chain shows that combining cross-regional cooperation on technology and trade with regionally tailored domestic circular economy policies yields the highest global emission reduction.

Ants evolved a transcriptional-interference-based mechanism to express a single odorant receptor from an array of Or genes with functionally similar promoters.
