Researchers get an unprecedented glimpse of how ions behave during a drive.

Particulate-matter levels in US homes peak during mealtime — and especially on Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Scientists studying the electrical charge on coffee particles stumble on a secret to a better cup of joe.

From drivable bionic animals to machines made from muscle, biohybrid robots are on their way to a variety of uses.

The bargaining group will be the first ever to represent graduate students and postdocs in the US government, as they push for better pay and benefits.

Platforms based on molecules manipulated using ‘optical tweezers’ might be able to perform complex physics calculations.

Landmark approval of the first CRISPR therapy paves the way for treatments based on more efficient and more precise genome editors.

Report also supports projects of unprecedented scale to study dark matter, neutrinos and the Higgs boson.

Researchers moving between institutions in low- and middle-income countries can confer wide-reaching benefits on their colleagues.

Researchers exploit intermolecular forces to carve a nanoscale hole, and investigating whether poverty can be reduced without increasing emissions.

The extravagantly feathered Seychelles paradise flycatcher lacks genetic diversity, which might hamper its resilience to climate change and other threats.

The western coast of Colombia can get more than 26 metres of rain a year, thanks to the influence of air jets hitting the Andes range.

An ultra-deep MUSE image of the mean Mg II emission for a sample of galaxies at redshift z ≈ 1 suggests the presence of bipolar outflows on scales of 10 kpc or more.

A study demonstrates that nucleotide modifications in mRNA-based therapeutics can lead to +1 ribosomal frameshifting during translation, yielding products that can trigger immune responses.

Experiments using conserved tumour models show that the G-protein-coupled receptor TkR99D in Drosophila Malphigian tubular stellate cells and NK3R in mouse renal tubules link malignant tumours to defective excretory functions.

By using several decades of hydrographic data and an inverse biogeochemical model that implicitly accounts for all known export pathways, a top-down estimate of the strength of the biological carbon pump is calculated.

A genomic constraint map for the human genome constructed using data from 76,156 human genomes from the Genome Aggregation Database shows that non-coding constrained regions are enriched for regulatory elements and variants associated with complex diseases and traits.

Cryogenic electron microscopy structures of amyloid filaments extracted from patient brains reveal that the protein TAF15 forms filaments that characterize certain cases of frontotemporal lobar degeneration.
