Feynman’s diagrammatic technique is widely used in the description of quantum many-body systems. This work demonstrates an efficient method for summing Feynman diagrams with exponential computational cost in the diagram order, translating into polynomial scaling of the calculation time with the required accuracy.

Atomically thin materials can form ionic sieves, in which certain species pass through the films, and others are prevented. Here, the authors synthesize nanoporous membranes using chemical vapor deposition and electrochemistry and reveal the mechanism behind the large ion selectivity they observe.

While a large number of chemically recyclable thermoplastics have been developed in recent years, technologically bio-based and fully recyclable thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) with excellent mechanical properties are lacking. Here the authors demonstrate an all δvalerolactone-based polyester tri-BCP TPEs, which exhibit not only closed-loop chemical recyclability but also exceptional toughness.

The interventional treatment of limb-threatening ischemia calls for a medical stent. Herein, a long and biodegradable stent appropriate for below-the-knee artery is developed based on a metal-polymer composite material, where a magnetic levitation is employed to achieve a homogeneous coating.

Multistage solar membrane distillation is facing challenges with current system designs due to constrained temperature and vapor pressure gradients. Here, the authors propose a stage temperature-boosting concept that enhances moisture transport with up to 88% improvement in overall distillate flux.

The Southern Ocean ecosystem is recovering from 20th-century industrial whaling, while the krill fishery in this region has grown rapidly and may expand further, driven by demand for supplements and aquaculture feed. This Perspective discusses how current krill biomass is unlikely to support both a growing krill fishery and rebounding whale populations in the Southern Ocean.

Through fluid-injection fault-reactivation experiments and analysis, the authors here define and report the relationship between the maximum seismic magnitude and injection volume for fluid-injection triggered earthquakes.

The silica cell wall of unicellular algae has intricate architecture unattainable by current technology. In this work it is shown that membrane contact sites are the biological morphogenesis handles to shape such intracellular mineralization.

Antarctic krill are important facilitators of carbon sequestration, transferring as much carbon to the deep ocean through their faeces as is stored in seagrass beds and mangrove forests.

There is a need for accurate models to predict disease dynamics by considering the interactions between environment and vector traits. This study finds that incorporating delayed phenotypic plasticity in mosquito traits significantly enhances the accuracy of dengue risk predictions.

Nanoscale protein localisation by immunogold-scanning electron microscopy has been restricted to extracellular epitopes. Here, the authors extend this method to sub-membranous epitopes, revealing how transmembrane and cytoplasmic proteins distribute along the surfaces of exposed cells.

The Ustilaginoidea virens effector UgsL is shown to interact with receptor kinase OsSRF3. OsSRF3 positively regulates immunity in rice and UgsL mediates its degradation, thereby inhibiting the activation of OsBAK1–OsSRF3-mediated immune responses in rice.

The Grillet lab identified an additional component of the auditory mechanotransduction Machinery, the protein LOXHD1, which is indispensable to keep the ion channel subunit TMC1 next to the tip-link, where the force induced-by sound is transmitted.

This phase I/II clinical trial was designed to assess safety and efficacy of gene therapy for Bothnia dystrophy, an inherited retinal degeneration leading to blindness. Kvanta et al. show interim results from 12 patients with meaningfully improved visual function in dim light.

Immunoglobulin A (IgA) is an important part of the mucosal immune response. Here, the authors show that an intestinal commensal protist can enhance mucosal IgA production upon vaccination and that this involves the accumulation of free arachidonic acid in the intestinal lumen.

The interventional treatment of limb-threatening ischemia calls for a medical stent. Herein, a long and biodegradable stent appropriate for below-the-knee artery is developed based on a metal-polymer composite material, where a magnetic levitation is employed to achieve a homogeneous coating.

Here the authors identify 33 individuals with a dominant neurodevelopmental disorder due to heterozygous missense or loss-of-function variants in the gene encoding Densin-180, a scaffold protein present at postsynaptic sites in neurons of the central nervous system.

Rickman and colleagues explore scenarios for phasing out lending to fossil fuel firms. They analyse over $7 trillion of fossil fuel debt and show that financial regulation and international co-operation will be critical for a timely and just phase-out of fossil fuel finance.

Dissecting the associations between exposure to environmental pollution and cancer risk remains crucial. Here, the authors evaluate the impact of air and water pollution on cancer incidence in China using a spatial evaluation system and show that most excess cancer cases occurred in areas with the highest level of co-pollution.

This paper proposes storing hydrogen in pipes filled with gravel in lakes and reservoirs. Results show the levelized cost of hydrogen storage to be 0.17 USD kg−1 at 200 m depth, which is competitive with other hydrogen storage options.

Exploratory behaviours involve a trade-off between exploration and exploitation. Here the authors investigate exploration behaviour across different domains and whether tendency to explore is stable over time.

This study quantifies the economic impacts of electric vehicle charging stations (EVCS) on nearby businesses in California, finding that installing one EVCS boosts annual spending at a nearby business by 1.4% ($1,478) in 2019 and 0.8% ($404) from January 2021 to June 2023.
