Material that includes carbon with the same structure as diamond could be used to protect satellites from space radiation.

The thought of time sheets in academia might fill you with horror, but they could help you to prioritize tasks, says Inger Mewburn.

The ability to detect high pH could allow the insects to avoid toxic substances.

A virtual world filled with bad AI drivers can be used to test autonomous vehicles.

Modular platforms that allow authors to publish pieces of the research process hope to make academic publishing more accessible.

A method to test and teach autonomous cars how to deal with dangerous situations, and a renewed interest in bats and how they deal with viruses.

A systematic census at 1,636 sites around Australia from 2008 to 2021 finds that more than 30% of shallow invertebrate species in cool latitudes exhibit a high extinction risk due to declining populations and oceanic barriers, but tropical coral species remain relatively stable.

RHOJ regulates epithelial-to-mesenchymal-transition-associated resistance to chemotherapy by enhancing the response to replicative stress and activating the DNA damage response, enabling tumour cells to rapidly repair DNA lesions induced by chemotherapy.

An intelligent environment has been developed for testing the safety performance of autonomous vehicles and its effectiveness has been demonstrated for highway and urban test tracks in an augmented-reality environment.

Acceleration of ‘Oumuamua is due to the release of entrapped molecular hydrogen formed through energetic processing of an H₂O-rich icy body, supporting the idea that it originated as a planetesimal relic similar to Solar System comets.

A supercomplex comprising all four respiratory chain components contributes to the induction of mitochondrial membrane curvature and tubulation of cristae.

The lifetime of a qubit in a circuit quantum electrodynamics architecture can exceed the break-even point through quantum error correction, representing a key step towards scalable quantum computing.

Visceral pain and anxiety in mice are found to be associated with gut enterochromaffin cells, and genetic models for eliciting visceral hypersensitivity and studying the sex bias of gut pain are proposed.

The current observations and understanding of black holes is reviewed, and the future of the field of black-hole astrophysics is discussed.

X-ray, cryo-EM and kinetic studies of the circadian oscillator KaiBC from the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides shed light on the evolution of self-regulating oscillators.

Electrophysiological recordings in sleeping bearded dragons (Pogona vitticeps) reveal a type of interhemispheric competition that is detected in the claustrum but generated in the midbrain, and only during rapid-eye-movement sleep.

By using in vivo ultrafast TA spectroscopy, extraction of electrons directly from photoexcited PSI and PSII in cyanobacterial cells using exogenous electron mediators is demonstrated.

A study demonstrates the extension of a lifetime of a quantum memory using active quantum error correction and reinforcement learning.
