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...

Dinosaur red blood cells recovered from 115-million-year-old fossil

02/11/2026 - A bit of leg bone from an Aratasaurus dinosaur fossil collected in Brazil has preserved abundant 3D red blood cells in stunning detail

Extra weight may be aging your brain faster than you think

02/11/2026 - A major 24-year study involving more than 8,200 adults suggests that excess body weight may accelerate brain aging, leading to faster declines in memory, concentration, and decision-making skills....

NASA reveals a haunting skull hidden in Antarctica’s ice

02/11/2026 - NASA satellites have captured an eerie, skull-shaped formation on a remote Antarctic island, but its haunting appearance conceals a troubling warning about melting glaciers. Unusually warm winter...

Tensor-network methodology for real-space super-moiré excitons, by Anouar Moustaj, Yitao Sun, Tiago Antão, Lumen Eek, Jose L. Lado

02/11/2026 - Computing excitonic spectra in quasicrystal and super-moiré systems constitutes a formidable challenge due to the exceptional size of the excitonic Hilbert space. Here, we demonstrate a...

Topological phase transition of deformed ${mathbb Z}_3$ toric code, by Yun-Tak Oh, Hyun-Yong Lee

02/11/2026 - We investigate topological phase transitions in a family of deformed $\mathbb{Z}_3$ toric-code wavefunctions prepared from a cluster state by local deformations and projective measurements. Their...

Correction to “Enhanced Monocular Depth Estimation Using ResNet Backbone and Multiscale Feature Decoding for Precise Object Distance Measurement”

02/11/2026 - An environmentally symbiotic plant robot is presented that externalizes its drive system to plants and soil. By converting germination and growth forces into locomotion, the robot sustains a closed...

Regulatory plasticity of the rdar biofilm morphotype in clinical uropathogenic Escherichia coli and its modulation by ciprofloxacin

02/11/2026 - Background: Red, dry and rough (rdar) biofilm formation in Escherichia coli is characterized by the coordinated production of extracellular cellulose and amyloid curli fimbriae. Although rdar biofilm...

Convergent genome- and gene-level constraints shape repeated environmental adaptation in grasses

02/11/2026 - Grasses (Poaceae) dominate terrestrial ecosystems and sustain global food security, yet the genomic principles enabling their repeated adaptation to extreme environments remain unresolved. Combining...

SMARTFlexDB: a paired apo-holo RNA structure database and analysis platform for RNA conformational flexibility and small-molecule recognition

02/11/2026 - RNA structures can undergo substantial conformational changes upon small-molecule binding, yet existing structural resources provide only static RNA-ligand snapshots without connecting ligand-bound...

A rational design strategy and validation for protease-resistant fusion-inhibitor antiviral peptides

02/11/2026 - Peptide-based fusion inhibitors are promising pharmaceuticals in the fight against enveloped viruses relying on membrane fusion for host infection. However, peptide therapeutic applications have long...

Fish pay attention to one influential neighbour in virtual reality

01/11/2026 - Observing interactions between real and virtual rummy-nose tetra fish shows that, within a group, each individual takes cues from only one influential neighbour
