Nature - The external, artificial-lung system could be used to treat other people who are critically unwell and awaiting transplants.

Nature - She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

The six-year results from the Dark Energy Survey highlight unresolved tensions in standard cosmological theory.

Meichsner et al. review recent insights into mitochondria as dynamic signaling hubs. The authors describe how structural plasticity and interorganellar communication enable mitochondria to serve as both sources and targets of signaling, coordinating stress responses, metabolic adaptation, and innate immune pathways to safeguard cellular homeostasis.

Nature Reviews Chemistry, Published online: 26 January 2026; doi:10.1038/s41570-026-00796-wNon-steady-state chemical dynamics offer a powerful tool for neuromorphic computing by harnessing nonlinear, collective, and time-evolving behaviours. Coupled with frameworks such as reservoir computing, these systems enable trajectory-based information processing at the molecular scale through concepts from chemical kinetics and far-from-equilibrium dynamics.

Sidewinder enables high-fidelity DNA assembly by separating the information that guides assembly from the final assembled sequence.

An allosteric site on the E3 ligase adapter cereblon can be targeted to modulate the efficacy of cereblon in targeted protein degradation applications.

Merck KGaA's non-pyrophoric butyllithium in poly(α-olefin) oil make BuLi stable to air and water

New hominin fossils from the Grotte à Hominidés at Thomas Quarry I (ThI-GH) in Casablanca, Morocco, dated to around 773 thousand years ago are similar in age to Homo antecessor, yet are morphologically distinct.

Twenty-five years after its launch, the online encyclopedia now competes with chatbots — but its creator still has faith in humans when it comes to sourcing facts.

Do your New Year resolutions include a plan to leave higher education? These researchers explain how to reinvent your career.
