Superconducting transmon qubits have been fabricated in a 300 mm complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) pilot line using industrial fabrication methods, achieving relaxation and coherence times exceeding 100 μs.

Opto-twistronic Hall effect driven by structural chirality and coherence length is observed in a three-dimensional self-assembled twisted spiral superlattice of WS₂.

Transplants of consortia with limited numbers of strains of commensal bacteria derived from healthy human stool samples are able to suppress intestinal Enterobacteriaceae by regulating gluconate availability, suggesting potential therapies for infectious and inflammatory diseases.

A one-step hydrogen-based redox process turns oxides directly into green alloys in bulk forms, with application-worthy properties.

Temporally dynamic extraembryonic and embryonic BMP4 signalling shapes mouse embryo lineage choices.

In male mouse germline development, the precise DNA methylation of young, active transposons requires a two-step process in which SPIN1 and SPOCD1 mark young LINE1 elements before the piRNA pathway triggers DNA methylation.

Frontal polymerization spin mode dynamics is used to autonomously fabricate patterned crystalline domains in poly(cyclooctadiene) with multiscale organization.

Entanglement was observed in top–antitop quark events by the ATLAS experiment produced at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN using a proton–proton collision dataset with a centre-of-mass energy of √s  = 13 TeV and an integrated luminosity of 140 fb⁻¹.

When the cone angle between the solar wind velocity and the solar wind magnetic field is small at Mars, the induced magnetosphere degenerates.

Radio images reveal distant black hole jets of cosmological length, suggesting that the environmental impact of supermassive black holes extends further in space and time than previously thought.

We conduct experiments in a wave tank and show that waves with realistic three-dimensional spreading can become two times steeper than two-dimensional waves before breaking, with three breaking regimes identified.

A novel theoretical framework reveals how topography surrounding rivers causes dramatic changes in their courses, with implications for natural hazard prediction, particularly in the Global South.

A micronuclear battery is built based on an autoluminescent americium–terbium compound that couples radioisotopes with energy transducers at the molecular level, resulting in an 8,000-fold enhancement in energy conversion efficiency.

Paracrine κ-opioid signalling among cells surrounding the spinal cord central canal modulates scar formation after injury.

Targeted protein relocalization using shuttle proteins with potent ligands amenable to incorporation into targeted relocalization activating molecules could be used to regulate cellular physiology and correct disease states in neurodegenerative diseases, cancer and genetic disorders.

The emergent electrodynamics induced by skyrmion lattice motion in Gd₂PdSi₃ is facilitated by its giant topological Hall effect dynamic transition, and implies the emergent Galilean relativity of current-driven skyrmions.

A newly identified emergent constraint applied to a key drought metric reduces uncertainty in future predictions of the longest annual dry spells, revealing that their increase due to climate change will be 40–50% greater than climate models project at present.

Experiments in mice show that the perineural net has a key role in metabolic disease by controlling insulin access to neurons in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus.

Measurements from the heavily shielded Orion spacecraft during the uncrewed Artemis I mission show dose-rate reductions due to shielding and orientation for Van Allen belt crossings and quantify the interplanetary cosmic-ray radiation in a human-rated spacecraft.
