Amazon study reveals the best strategies for protecting biodiversity and carbon

21/09/2026 - A large Amazon study suggests the most powerful conservation move may be protecting the forests that are already standing. Preventing damage from wildfires and logging delivered the greatest...

Benchmarking confidence estimation and rescoring for cyclic peptide-protein complex predictions

21/09/2026 - Cyclic peptides are a rapidly expanding class of therapeutics, but the reliability of deep-learning structure prediction for cyclic peptide-protein complexes has not been systematically evaluated. We...

Macro-level causal discovery from single-time-point observations of ecological dynamical systems

21/09/2026 - Ecologists often aim to uncover causal relations within ecological systems using observational data. However, many studies still rely mainly on correlation-based approaches, which do not support...

Presynaptic mechanism of epileptiform activities in forward-programmed human excitatory neuronal networks

21/09/2026 - Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders, yet the mechanisms controlling seizure termination remain poorly understood. In particular, why rhythmic spike-wave discharges decelerate...

Epigenetic characterization and manipulation of rare circadian neuron subtypes

21/09/2026 - The molecular circadian clock ticks away similarly in several distinct locations throughout the Drosophila head and body, yet regulation of this clock and specifically that of master transcription...

Billions in rare earth elements may be hiding in America’s coal ash

18/09/2026 - Scientists are looking to diatoms, sea sponges, and plants for a cleaner way to recover rare earth elements and other valuable minerals hidden inside coal ash, red mud, and mine tailings. The...

This deep-sea enzyme survives heat that destroys most proteins

19/09/2026 - A deep-sea microbe uses an exceptionally heat-resistant enzyme to turn atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia at temperatures that would destroy most proteins. Its unusual structure and a newly observed...

New chemical wipes out 95% of termites without harming humans

19/09/2026 - A chemical that stops drywood termites from building new exoskeletons killed about 95% of colonies in testing, offering a potentially safer alternative to traditional fumigation. Because termites...
