Snippets from Nature's past.

Oscillations in the brightness of a 'superluminous' supernova reveal it to be powered by a magnetized neutron star that distorts the orbit of surrounding gas.

Proteins assume complex 3D shapes even faster than does DNA, which is a simpler molecule.

The hydrogel-based plug blocks a part of the heart to cut stroke risk and was shown to be effective in rats and a pig.

Cryo-electron microscopy and massively parallel assays shed light on the mechanism by which DICER, a key enzyme in the RNase III family, cleaves RNA at precise locations to produce small RNAs.

Analysis of the asexually reproducing Amazon molly Poecilia formosa and its sexually reproducing progenitors Poecilia mexicana and Poecilia latipinna reveals that it maintains a divergent mutational landscape and has evaded functional mutational ...

Logical circuits have been built from nanosheet stacks of various transistors, which could make electronic devices faster and more compact.

In mice, a low-protein diet leads to a gut-microbiota-driven remodelling of adipose tissue towards brown fat, showing that gut microorganisms have a role in detecting and responding to a lack of protein.

INSTALL overcomes fundamental challenges for DNA delivery and integration methods by synergizing immune-stealth nucleic acids with recombinases to enable kilobase-scale integration strategies without viral vectors.

A 4D imaging architecture using a large-scale, coherent LiDAR focal plane array comprising more than 0.6million photonic components and associated electronics integrated on-chip can obtain coherent images at high frame rates over useful distances.
