The growth rate of the atmospheric abundance of methane (CH 4) reached a record high of 15.4 ppb yr −1 between 2020 and 2022, but the mechanisms driving the accelerated CH 4 growth have so far been ...

Defect centers have been used to demonstrate a wide range of functionalities (1 – 5), including remote entanglement (6), control of large nuclear spin clusters (7), and quantum sensing of local ...

Bispecific T cell engagers (TcEs) that are able to simultaneously bind to epitopes on cancer cells and T cells are a versatile, highly potent, and economical immunotherapeutic tool (1). TcEs are ...

In the secretory pathway, the pH within organelles is gradually acidified, starting at 7.1 to 7.2 in the endoplasmic reticulum, decreasing to 6.0 to 6.7 in the Golgi apparatus/trans-Golgi network ...

Sorting cells with target metabolic functions from a mutant pool exhibiting substantial genetic diversity is often the rate-limiting step in synthetic biology. Here, we developed a label-free, ...

The synthesis of new polyhydrides with high superconducting Tc is challenging owing to the high pressures and temperatures required. In this study, we used machine-learning potential molecular ...

Natural ice plays salient roles in making the Earth habitable and sustainable. Previously overlooked, its role in chemical processes is now of emerging interest, particularly due to the freeze ...

Greening immediately after etiolated-seedling’s emergence from the soil is critical for plants to initiate their autotrophic life cycle through photosynthesis. The greening process relies on a complex ...

Self-reproduction is one of the most fundamental features of natural life. This study introduces a biochemistry-free method for creating self-reproducing polymeric vesicles. In this process, ...

Calcineurin is a highly conserved phosphatase that plays a central role in sensing calcium and governing transcriptional, posttranscriptional, and posttranslational signaling networks. Calcineurin is ...

Systems that evolve in time according to specific rules are known as dynamical systems, and the associated field of study is called dynamical system theory. There is a rich history on this topic, ...

The availability of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) is essential for soil microbial activity and growth, yet global patterns of N and P limitation in soil microbial metabolism remain largely unknown.
