The classification of magnets now includes altermagnets which possess opposite-spin sublattices connected by rotation and share some features with ferro- and antiferromagnets. Here the authors report the anomalous Hall effect in Mn5Si3 and interpret the results in terms of a d-wave altermagnetic phase.

The authors measure picosecond spin pumping in FeRh as a function of temperature by optical pump-THz emission spectroscopy. In the antiferromagnetic phase of FeRh enhanced spin pumping above the value measured in the ferromagnetic phase is observed.

Catalytic asymmetric click reactions of azides and alkynes for chiral triazole synthesis remains a challenge, due to the limited catalytic systems and substrate scope. Herein, the authors report the enantioselective azidation/click cascade reaction of N-propargyl-β-ketoamides via copper catalysis, affording a variety of chiral 1,2,3-triazoles.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons such as [4]helicenes are important interstellar molecules. Here, the authors show their evolution of chiral clusters upon aggregation through coincidence spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations.

Solar water splitting devices, though often demonstrated at atmospheric pressure, need to deliver H₂ at high pressure for many applications. Here the authors use multiphysics model to evaluate the benefits and penalties of elevated pressure operation, identifying the optimum pressure range to enhance efficiency.

The b-value in earthquake size distribution shows spatiotemporal variations, being key to consider large-earthquake genesis. By high-precision focal mechanism data, we show a physical reason for the reduction in b-value before a major earthquake.

At elevated temperatures, water microdroplets emerge near oil-water interfaces, functioning as tiny geochemical reactors that initiate interactions and mass transfer among organic and inorganic components in thermal geosystems.

Complicated associations between multiplexed environmental factors and aging are poorly understood. Here, authors show heterogeneous associations of multiplexed environmental factors with multidimensional aging metrics.

Limited data hinders accurate predictions of strength and permeability of permeable cement-stabilized base materials. Here, the authors propose a kriging-based surrogate model assisted neural networks, which improves accuracy by 21% over traditional models.

Here, authors highlight ecological risks of a widely used disinfectant, chloroxylenol, and identify a more efficient and safer alternative from halo-phenolic disinfection byproducts, 2,6-dichlorobenzoquinone. They leverage seawater’s slightly alkaline nature to enhance its degradability via hydrolysis.

Acetylation of histone lysine residues correlates with transcription activation, but it is currently debated whether histone acetylation is a cause or a consequence of transcription. Here, the authors show how global protein acetylation remains unaltered after acute inhibition of transcription, indicating that histone acetylation is not merely a consequence of transcription.

The accurate inheritance of the genetic material in offsprings is crucial for life. Here, the authors reported an artificial cell capable of the dynamic mimicry of the plasmid segregation process as well as the gene inheritance after division.

The uterine stroma only fully differentiates postnatally, but how this is regulated remains unclear. Here they show that postnatal uterine stromal development is mediated at an epigenetic level by PRSET7, which represses interferon response genes.

Histidine kinases form part of bacterial two-component signaling systems (TCS). By modulating the balance between antagonistic kinase and phosphatase activities, the authors reprogram output and sensitivity of light-responsive TCSs, thus generating tools for gene-expression control by red light.

Membrane proteins play essential roles in biological processes but are very difficult to study due to their hydrophobic nature. Here, the authors apply the QTY code, a method for designing water soluble membrane proteins, to histidine kinase CpxA to render it completely water-soluble and preserve the native molecular function.

This study demonstrates the opacity resolution and visual function improvement following intrastromal injection of quiescent corneal stromal keratocytes but not stromal fibroblasts. The keratocyte therapy recapitulates native cornea’s collagen fibril organization and proteoglycans.

Asthma is one of the most common diseases in childhood and for which the UK has the highest mortality rates in Europe. Here, the authors show that the UK soft drinks industry levy was linked with a fall in hospital admissions for asthma in children

Complicated associations between multiplexed environmental factors and aging are poorly understood. Here, authors show heterogeneous associations of multiplexed environmental factors with multidimensional aging metrics.

Whole blood signatures have served as the potential biomarkers for TB but failed to meet World Health Organization’s (WHO) optimal target product profiles (TPP). By employing cohorts from multiple countries, the authors identify a diagnostic 6-gene signature from cell free RNA which outperforms TPP requirement in distinguishing TB from non-TB.

Developing Type I photosensitizers (PSs) is vital for tackling hypoxic intolerance of photodynamic therapy in the hypoxic microenvironment, but elusive due to the lack of a general molecular design strategy. Here the authors report a universal and simple method to covert traditional Type II PSs to Type I PSs.

Informal transportation services constitute the primary form of public transport in the Global South. Here, the authors analyze the structure of route networks in cities across the globe, showing how informal routes self-organize into consistent line services that often outperform centralized services in the Global North, exhibiting fewer detours and comparable interconnectivity.

The absence of an objective way of assessing freezing of gait in Parkinson’s Disease hinders research and care. A machine-learning contest using wearable sensor data delivered detection algorithms with high precision and identified time-of-day effects.

Educational environment is known to influence learning efficiency of students, however qualitative analysis of this effect has open questions. The authors propose a model to quantify roommate peer effects based on student accommodation distribution and their academic performance.

Exposition to insecticides can be dangerous. Here, authors developed an oxime-fabric body suit and facemask that chemically deactivate insecticides and prevent insecticide-induced lethal effects, offering an affordable solution for farmer safety.

Smart grids are characterized by fast-acting, intelligent control while reconfiguration and load shedding are emergency control techniques needed during outages. Here, authors present a graph reinforcement learning approach to manage outage and notably improve resilience in distribution networks.
