- Researchers Map the Molecular Machinery Behind a Family of Cancer DrugsA newly identified bacterial “docking” system shows how microbes make variants of romidepsin-like drugs, offering chemists a template for designing new ones.
- Infineon makes the case for a second TSMC plant making cutting-edge chips in GermanyEven before Europe's first TSMC fab in Dresden is finished, the Munich chipmaker is floating a second facility for the finest chip structures — with Japan as the template.
- Seabed Sensors Capture New Ocean Crust Being BornAn array of instruments on the Southeast Indian Ridge recorded a rare seafloor-spreading event in unprecedented detail, revealing that much of the plate motion happens silently.
- Trinidad and Tobago's Gay-Rights Appeal Reaches Its Final Court in LondonThe UK's Privy Council has begun hearing Jason Jones's decade-long challenge to a colonial-era ban on same-sex intimacy, a case activists across the Caribbean see as a possible turning point.
- Hungary's State Broadcaster Halts Its News and Vows a Credible RestartAfter sixteen years as a government mouthpiece, Hungary's public television paused its bulletins, apologised on a black screen and promised viewers independent journalism.
- Ancient DNA From a Tomb Near Paris Sheds Light on the End of Europe's MegalithsA study of 132 Stone Age genomes shows one population vanished and another arrived, offering a data-driven answer to a long-standing archaeological puzzle.
- MIT Spinout Quaise Secures $134 Million to Build a Superhot Geothermal Plant in OregonThe Houston company plans to bore several kilometres into hot rock with millimeter-wave beams instead of drill bits, aiming to send first power to the grid by 2030.
- AI Model Slashes the Cost of Simulating How Stars Forge Heavy ElementsA German-led team's open-source neural network, RHINE, reproduces the heat of exploding stars' nuclear reactions in a fraction of the usual computing time.
- Quantum Entanglement Measured in a Crystal You Can HoldA team led by TU Wien found that groups of at least nine particles inside a centimetre-sized strange-metal crystal act as a single entangled whole — the largest such effect reported in any material.
- A Smarter Electrolyte Points Lithium-Metal Batteries Toward Longer LifeA Nanjing University team reports an additive that engages only at the electrode surface, letting high-energy lithium-metal cells endure hundreds more charge cycles.
- Atom-Thin Boron Nitride Switches Make Gallium Nitride Radio Chips ReprogrammableAn international team has built programmable millimetre-wave circuits by integrating memristive switches made from two-dimensional hexagonal boron nitride directly onto gallium nitride chips.
- A Neuron's Inner Rhythm Decides Which Branch Becomes Its AxonResearchers at Germany's DZNE find that a young nerve cell relies on a self-generated rhythm of its own scaffolding, not just outside signals, to select its single outgoing branch.
- Researchers Map One of Nature's Largest Enzymes Behind Microbial MethaneA team at Marburg University has resolved the structure of an eight-megadalton molecular machine that lets microbes turn carbon dioxide into methane, offering a clearer view of a process central to the global carbon cycle.
- Ant Brains Repurpose the Chemistry of Hunger for CaregivingA new study in Nature finds that two ancient appetite-regulating molecules also determine whether a clonal raider ant nurses larvae or leaves the nest to forage.
- Cancer Immunotherapy's 'Obesity Paradox' Traced to Diet and Gut MicrobesA Nature study finds that diet shapes the gut's microbial ecosystem to boost immune-checkpoint therapy, pointing to short-term, targeted ways to help more patients respond.
- Language Models Show Promise at Forecasting Social Science ExperimentsA Nature study finds GPT-4 can anticipate the direction of many US survey experiments, offering researchers a low-cost planning aid — though it is no replacement for real people.
- Physicists Extract Energy From Waves Using Synthetic Rotation, No Moving Parts NeededA team at the CUNY Advanced Science Research Center has recreated a decades-old idea about spinning black holes inside a radio-frequency device that never moves.
- An AI Agent Lets Quantum Computers Recalibrate Themselves Without PausingResearchers at Google turned a quantum machine's own error signals into a teacher, letting it hold steady through long computations.
- A Shared Reference Map Lets Scientists Compare Cells Across the Tree of LifeAn AI foundation model called UCE places 36 million cells from eight species into a single biological space, letting researchers annotate new data without retraining.
- Deep-Sea Observatory Records the Ocean Floor Splitting Open for the First TimeAn autonomous array on the Southeast Indian Ridge captured a rare seafloor-spreading event in real time, revealing how new oceanic crust forms in sudden bursts.
- A Chromatin Map of Acute Myeloid Leukaemia Sharpens Prognosis and Points to Tailored TreatmentBy profiling the epigenome of more than 1,500 patients, an international team sorted this aggressive blood cancer into 16 biologically distinct subgroups that genetics alone had missed.
- A Material That Routes Heat and Remembers the SettingAn international team has built a layered device that can decide which way thermal radiation flows, switch that behaviour on or off, and hold the setting even after the power is cut.
