Supercurrents flowing through thin superconducting nanowires can be quenched by applying a gate voltage, an effect known as gate-controlled suppression of superconductivity. Here, using a scanning nitrogen-vacancy magnetometer at sub-Kelvin temperatures, the authors report that this phenomenon also manifests in a suppression of Meissner screening and is thus not restricted to transport.

Composite materials design is difficult due to complex, continuous design space. This work builds ORDER, a multimodal framework linking microstructures and descriptors with preserved property trends, aiding prediction, retrieval, and microstructure generation.

The experimental realization of how temporally correlated noise influences growth universality classes remained unconfirmed. Authors demonstrate a direct crossover from the Villain- Lai-Das Sarma (VLDS) to the temporally correlated noise-driven KPZ (TCN-KPZ) universality class and identify adatom escape as the microscopic origin of the correlated noise, establishing a direct link between atomistic kinetics to macroscopic morphological evolution.

Single-atom catalysts offer high efficiency but face aggregation and degradation at elevated temperatures. Here, the authors introduce a thermally stable high-valent iridium single-atom catalyst to enhance CO₂ electrolysis in solid oxide electrolysis cells.

Inspired by densely packed sclereids with interconnected pit structures in Raphia hookeri seed, authors fabricate bioinspired structural materials with weak anisotropy and high toughness.

The global map of riverfront landscapes reveals that nearly one-fifth of riverfronts have been modified by human activity. This extensive footprint creates widespread fragmentation that fundamentally reshapes land-water interactions, providing crucial insights for rethinking global river management.

Argo salinity and oxygen profiles in the North Atlantic are used to track the Mediterranean Outflow Water, providing evidence of its presence in the subpolar basins, where deep convective processes occur, and highlighting its role in influencing the large-scale overturning circulation.

This study shows that small supraglacial lakes not only reflect the increasingly frequent hazards associated with small-lake outburst events, but also indicate that their seasonal dynamics serve as a precursor signal of global warming.

Large-scale deforestation and afforestation currently coexist. Along a 4,000 km transect, Yu et al. show that deforestation reduces soil multi-diversity by 25% and ecosystem multifunctionality by 58%, while afforestation partially restores both.

Seismic imaging reveals why an oceanic slab stalls in the mantle transition zone for tens millions of years: water deepens harzburgite transitions, creating the main buoyant force, while dry basalt in the uppermost lower mantle provides secondary support.

Multiplexed biosensing is often limited by crosstalk between sensors. Here, authors distribute sensing across microbial communities and use timer-resolved modelling and machine learning to infer multiple chemical concentrations from cross-reactive and indirect responses.

Chemotherapy is reported to induce cancer-cell senescence, which shapes tumor treatment response. Here, the authors show that chemotherapeutic gemcitabine-induced senescence leads to a stiffened stroma, triggering Piezo1-NRF2 signaling in cancer cells and promoting ferroptosis resistance.

Animals have moved from water to land many times, but whether they used the same genetic routes has remained unclear. This study shows that independent land transitions relied mostly on ancient, conserved genes, with lineage-specific changes converging on similar stress-related functions.

Understanding immune correlates of SARS-CoV-2 infection risk in children, especially those with hybrid immunity, remains underexplored. Here, the authors conduct a cohort study revealing that higher nucleocapsid-binding and Omicron-specific neutralizing antibodies significantly reduce infection risk, suggesting these markers could guide tailored vaccination strategies and risk assessments in pediatric populations.

Cryo-EM maps often contain uneven signal, with strong structural features alongside weak but biologically important context. Here, authors present LocScale-2.0, which co-visualises high -resolution and contextual features while providing confidence scores f or interpretation.

After initial resuscitation, optimal mean arterial pressure (MAP) targets in sepsis remain uncertain. Here, the authors show that renal resistive index-guided MAP titration improves markers of kidney blood flow but does not significantly lower 28-day mortality versus conventional MAP management.

This paper bootstraps multimodal large language models with medical knowledge for esophagogastroduodenoscopy diagnosis and reporting, achieving accurate diagnosis of 19 gastrointestinal diseases and producing comprehensive descriptions of the findings

Here, the authors show that TBX20 helps drive long-lasting itch by boosting BNP signalling in skin and nerves. In mice, blocking this pathway reduced itching, inflammation, and skin damage, suggesting a potential treatment target for chronic itch.

Type 1 innate lymphoid cells (ILC1s) are integral for immunity, but how liver ILC1s are regulated is incompletely understood. Here, the authors find ASB2 to limit detrimental ILC1 lipid accumulation in adult mouse livers, thereby contributing to ILC1 homeostasis and to anti-tumor immunity in a liver metastasis model.

Stroke volume is a key indicator of cardiac function but requires specialised equipment to measure. Here the authors show that a deep learning model using in-ear audio from standard earbuds can accurately estimate stroke volume.

The global map of riverfront landscapes reveals that nearly one-fifth of riverfronts have been modified by human activity. This extensive footprint creates widespread fragmentation that fundamentally reshapes land-water interactions, providing crucial insights for rethinking global river management.

Despite a low share of gas-fired generation, French electricity prices showed stronger relative increases during the energy crisis. In the present paper, authors demonstrate how nuclear unavailability led to higher French import dependence, and evaluate the impact of the Spanish gas cap.

Here, the authors propose structured operator learning with spectral decomposition, sparse regression, and cross-view regularization to recover stable, interpretable governing equations under noisy, high-dimensional, and distribution-shifted data.

Community-engaged research in California shows that the ocean’s primary contributions to local wellbeing are in fostering connection, strengthening relationships and improving mental health, yet structural barriers limit these benefits for marginalized communities.

Navigation services concentrate traffic onto a few roads as adoption increases. Simulations in Florence, Milan, and Rome show route diversity drops by up to 14% at full adoption, and CO₂ benefits vanish or reverse beyond a city- and service-specific threshold.
