Scientists ‘draw’ crystal patterns using laser light.

Lessons learnt from research into the body’s internal clock could be key to unlocking blissful slumber.

Andrew Robinson reviews five of the best science picks.

Nature asked researchers who use artificial intelligence how its propensity for people-pleasing affects their work — and what they are doing to mitigate it.

The real thing.

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.

mRNA vaccines seem to ‘rev up’ the immune system to boost immunotherapy. Plus, a rare meteorite has been recovered from the Moon and the mysterious transition between wakefulness and sleep.

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.
