New cancer therapies are needed that do not harm healthy tissue. An engineered DNA sequence shows promise as one of the tools in a method to target brain tumour cells.

Bixonimania doesn't exist except in a clutch of obviously bogus academic papers. So why did AI chatbots warn people about this fictional illness?

A robust composite pair-exchange gate based on controlled interactions of fermionic atoms in an optical superlattice demonstrates high fidelities and long Bell-state lifetimes, marking an important step towards a fully digital fermionic quantum ...

The amount of DNA of different viruses is shaped by a person's age, sex, behaviour and genetics.

A single-cell multiomic atlas of the human maternal-fetal interface across pregnancy reveals cell types, states and spatial niches, developmental tissue architectures and transcriptional programmes, and identifies cell types with roles in pre ...

The CMS experiment at CERN reports one of the highest-precision measurements of the W boson mass, finding it in line with standard model predictions and at odds with recent anomalous measurements.

Across 17 forest plots (2.7 million trees, 5,400 species), competition dominated overall, but facilitation was relatively stronger near the equator and declined towards higher latitudes, partly linked to temperature, legumes, mycorrhizal associations ...

A purely geometric two-qubit SWAP gate can be realized by transiently populating qubit doublon states of fermionic atoms in a dynamical optical lattice.
