Exotic phenomena can be achieved in quantum materials by confining electronic states into two dimensions. For example, relativistic fermions are reali......
SAR1B, which is conserved between mammals and nematodes, is a leucine sensor that is involved in regulating mTORC1 signalling and potentially has a ro......
Modern humans appeared in Europe by at least 45,000 years ago(1-5), but the extent of their interactions with Neanderthals, who disappeared by about 4......
Ageing of the immune system, or immunosenescence, contributes to the morbidity and mortality of the elderly(1,2). To define the contribution of immune......
Synthetic chemistry is built around the formation of carbon-carbon bonds. However, the development of methods for selective carbon-carbon bond cleavag......
Whereas ferromagnets have been known and used for millennia, antiferromagnets were only discovered in the 1930s(1). At large scale, because of the abs......
Current X-ray imaging technologies involving flat-panel detectors have difficulty in imaging three-dimensional objects because fabrication of large-ar......
Exciting phenomena may emerge in non-centrosymmetric two-dimensional electronic systems when spin-orbit coupling (SOC)(1) interplays dynamically with ......
Cratons are the oldest parts of the Earth's continents; this Review concludes that the production of widespread, thick and strong lithosphere via the ......
G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) have central roles in intercellular communication(1,2). Structural studies have revealed how GPCRs can activate G ......
Characterization of the early developmental process called gastrulation has mostly been limited to snapshots at different time points. A model of mous......
An observationally calibrated ice sheet-shelf model suggests that global warming of 3 degrees C will trigger rapid Antarctic ice loss, contributing ab......
