Nature talks to the mpox coordinator for Africa's public-health agency about how the continent is handling its first jabs ever.

Several theories explain why Oceania is the last region free of the H5N1 virus.

ESA’s Hera mission will study a rock called Dimorphos, which was blasted by NASA, to work out how successful that approach was in deflecting its course.

The treatment’s success in three people raises hopes for mass production of cutting-edge CAR T therapies.

Vegetation is spreading at an alarming rate in a place where temperatures are soaring.

Adapting plant architecture to tolerate dense planting is an important strategy for enhancing maize yields. A newly identified mutant gene confers a ‘smart canopy’ architecture, with upright upper leaves, less-erect middle leaves and relatively flat lower leaves. Plants with this gene yield more grain under high-density planting than their wild-type counterparts do.

Biologists created a symbiotic system that hints at how cell features such as mitochondria and chloroplasts might have emerged a billion years ago.

Twenty years of publishing data across many countries and disciplines show women are more likely than men to leave research.

We take a glance into the brain of a fruit fly in unprecedented detail and look to history to find out how to win a Nobel prize.

What subjects have past winners studied? What age were they when they won? Where do they live? Nature crunched the data on every science prizewinner to find out.

Bacteria in the gut have been shown to cause the severe side effects associated with treating blood diseases with genetically dissimilar, and thus immunologically incompatible, blood stem cells (allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplantation). An enzyme derived from viruses that infect these bacteria demonstrates potential for eradication therapy.

Sociologist Gabriele Jacobs believes AI can be a useful tool in public safety, if developed ethically and responsibly.

Therapeutic T cells used to treat acute myeloid leukaemia secrete proteins that impair the cells’ own ability to attack cancer.

An overview of the countries and institutions that dedicate a high proportion of their research to neuroscience.

Neurological conditions affect more than 40% of the population, and some countries are struggling to cope.

The United States is setting the pace, but other nations are following their own paths.

The parts of a 3D-printed device can be changed out, allowing for versatility as well as ultrahigh resolution.

Algorithm homes in on wetlands and industrial sites linked to high emissions of the powerful greenhouse gas.

Analysis of the whole-brain fly connectome reveals high-dimensional dynamics supported by many small independent circuits, motivating a proposal for optogenetic perturbation to efficiently learn a whole-brain causal neural dynamics model.

Bulk high-temperature superconductivity observed in pressurized tetragonal La₂PrNi₂O₇ was testified by detecting clear diamagnetic signals below about 75 K with appreciable superconducting shielding volume fractions at a pressure of above 15 GPa.
