Understanding how ecosystems respond to ubiquitous microplastic (MP) pollution is crucial for ensuring global food security. Here, we conduct a multiecosystem meta-analysis of 3,286 data points and ...

Development of single-component organic phosphor attracts increasing interest due to its wide applications in optoelectronic technologies. Theoreti ...

Many cities seek to alleviate extreme heat via planting trees. However, the cooling achieved by such programs is debated because previous analyses address scales much smaller than the whole-city scale ...

The multiple challenges of managing large-scale PV wastes demand a proactive approach; the costs of being underprepared or unprepared far outweigh those of early preparation. We must anticipate the ...

The anterolateral system (ALS) is a major ascending pathway from the spinal cord that underlies perception of pain, itch, and skin temperature. It is therefore an important target for development of ...

Meiotic recombination is an evolutionary-conserved process that shapes genetic variation in most eukaryotes. DNA is packaged into nucleosomes, and high levels of nucleosome occupancy suppress ...

Healthy brain function requires a delicate balance of neural excitation (E) and inhibition (I). In animals, this balance—the E/I ratio—is known to decrease with the maturation of inhibitory circuitry ...

The automated lab of tomorrowUnlike industry and clinical research, which have both embraced and benefited from automation, bench science still depends to a large degree on the low-cost labor provided ...

The immune system is a complex network of cells with critical functions in health and disease. However, a comprehensive census of the cells compris ...

Haplotype-resolved genome assemblies were produced for Chasselas and Ugni Blanc, two heterozygous Vitis vinifera cultivars by combining high-fideli ...

As AI tools become increasingly prevalent in workplaces, understanding the social dynamics of AI adoption is crucial. Through four experiments with over 4,400 participants, we reveal a social penalty ...

Self-reproduction is one of the most fundamental features of natural life. This study introduces a biochemistry-free method for creating self-reproducing polymeric vesicles. In this process, ...
