Synthetic reaction-diffusion patterning in mammalian cells

03/11/2026 - During development, periodic patterns arise through reaction-diffusion (RD) circuits involving local activation and long-range inhibition (LALI). Natural systems are complex, typically entangling...

Adults may be more creative than children – but less confident about it

22/10/2026 - We often associate children with creativity, but adults actually performed better on inventive tasks, despite being less sure of themselves

Hilbert space diffusion in systems with approximate symmetries, by Rahel L. Baumgartner, Luca V. Delacrétaz, Pranjal Nayak, Julian Sonner

22/10/2026 - Random matrix theory (RMT) universality is the defining property of quantum mechanical chaotic systems, and can be probed by observables like the spectral form factor (SFF). In this paper, we...

Archaeologists are uncovering the meaning of a unique rock art site

19/10/2026 - Excavations in the Côa valley in Portugal, the world’s largest site of Palaeolithic open-air rock art, are yielding clues about how engravings of animals were seen by prehistoric hunter-gatherers

Programmable design of functional RNAs through multimodal generative learning

15/10/2026 - RNA engineering is bottlenecked by the tight coupling among sequence, structure, and function, leaving the field reliant on heuristics or screening. We introduce RNAverse, a multimodal generative...

An integrated data exploration engine of knowledge, expression and genetic association for human transposable elements

15/10/2026 - Transposable elements (TEs) constitute a substantial fraction of the human genome and contribute to genomic and epigenomic regulation. However, TE-related knowledge remains fragmented across the...

Whalefall review: Worth watching for the bits inside a sperm whale

15/10/2026 - Based on Daniel Kraus’s novel, this film about a diver swallowed by a sperm whale is terrifically gruesome – and far too sentimental, says Bethan Ackerley

On integrable structures on non–compact boundaries in three–dimensional gravity, by Hamed Adami, Kristiansen Lara, Anouchah Latifi, René Meyer

13/10/2026 - We study three-dimensional Einstein gravity with negative cosmological constant on non-compact spatial boundaries within the Chern-Simons formulation. Using an exact fluid/gravity correspondence, we...

Grief and tech collide in uneasily brilliant sci-fi film The Remotes

09/10/2026 - Shown at the New York Film Festival, John Torres’s film The Remotes tells of a mysterious app that seems to be controlling drivers' bodies, causing them to crash. It is challenging but worth it,...

An AI-powered cloud biofoundry for autonomous biological research

01/10/2026 - Autonomous experimentation, where an automated system designs, performs, analyzes, and iteratively improves experiments with minimal human intervention represents a transformative scientific research...

Charge functions for all dimensional partitions, by Hao Feng, Tian-Shun Chen, Kilar Zhang

30/09/2026 - The charge functions for n-dimensional partitions are known for n=2,3,4 in the literature. In a recent work, we gave the expression for arbitrary odd dimension; here we further conjecture a formula...

Scalable ground-state certification of quantum spin systems via structured noncommutative polynomial optimization, by Jie Wang, David Jansen, Irénée Frerot, Marc-Olivier Renou, Victor Magron, Antonio Acín

24/09/2026 - A fundamental challenge in quantum physics is determining the ground-state properties of many-body systems. Whereas standard variational approaches posit a wave-function ansatz and minimize over the...

The line, the strip and the duality defect, by Francesco Bedogna, Salvo Mancani

22/09/2026 - In the Symmetry Topological Field Theories (SymTFT) that describes the exotic models XY-plaquette and XYZ-cube, we construct codim-1 condensation defects by higher gauging with discrete torsion the...

Matrix Viscoelasticity Regulates the Stemness and Multilineage differentiation of Primary Neural Progenitor-Stem Cells in 3D

15/09/2026 - Neural progenitor-stem cells (NPSCs) reside in mechanically dynamic brain microenvironments and give rise to neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes. Although recent studies have shown that matrix...

SPP1+ Microglia Are Associated with Neuroimmune Rewiring and Glutamatergic Neuronal Injury in ART-Suppressed People Living with HIV

10/09/2026 - Abstract Antiretroviral therapy (ART) effectively suppresses systemic HIV replication but does not eradicate viral reservoirs in the brain, where their identity and contribution to neurological...

Adding layers of information to scRNA-seq data using pre-trained language models

04/09/2026 - Pre-trained language models promise to enrich single-cell analyses with contextual information from large biomedical text corpora, but it remains unclear how to optimally align this knowledge with...

Pygmy raccoons teach each other to make toys out of paper and sand

03/09/2026 - Critically endangered pygmy raccoons on Cozumel Island in Mexico have shown remarkable creativity by making balls out of rubbish at beach clubs

Aberrant neuronal cell cycle re-entry induces late-onset Alzheimer's disease relevant neuropathological and gene expression changes

03/09/2026 - Aberrant neuronal cell cycle re-entry (NCCR) is an alternative pathogenic mechanism in Alzheimer disease (AD) that has gained substantial support in the literature. The pathogenic role of ectopic...

Stabilising effect of modularity in antagonistic networks depends on intraguild interactions

02/09/2026 - Existing literature on ecological networks provides valuable insights into the structure-stability relation of antagonistic, mutualistic or competitive systems, but it remains unclear whether these...
