摘要:A levitating frog, a necrophiliac duck, taxi drivers' brains - the Ig Nobel prizes have shined a spotlight on offbeat work. Here's an inside look at how winners feel about this sometimes unwanted 'honour'.

摘要:The observed temperature record, which combines sea surface temperatures with near-surface air temperatures over land, is crucial for understanding climate variability and change1-4. However, early records of global mean surface temperature are uncertain owing to changes in measurement technology and practice, partial documentation5-8, and incomplete spatial coverage9. Here we show that existing estimates of ocean temperatures in the early twentieth century (1900-1930) are too cold, based on i...

摘要:Chromatin structure is a key regulator of DNA transcription, replication and repair1. In humans, the TIP60-EP400 complex (TIP60-C) is a 20-subunit assembly that affects chromatin structure through two enzymatic activities: ATP-dependent exchange of histone H2A-H2B for H2A.Z-H2B, and histone acetylation. In yeast, however, these activities are performed by two independent complexes-SWR1 and NuA4, respectively2,3. How the activities of the two complexes are merged into one supercomplex in humans...

摘要:Mitochondria serve a crucial role in cell growth and proliferation by supporting both ATP synthesis and the production of macromolecular precursors. Whereas oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) depends mainly on the oxidation of intermediates from the tricarboxylic acid cycle, the mitochondrial production of proline and ornithine relies on reductive synthesis1. How these competing metabolic pathways take place in the same organelle is not clear. Here we show that when cellular dependence on OXPH...

摘要:Moir & eacute; materials have enabled the realization of flat electron bands and quantum phases that are driven by the strong correlations associated with flat bands1-4. Superconductivity has been observed, but only in graphene moir & eacute; materials5-9. The absence of robust superconductivity in moir & eacute; materials beyond graphene, such as semiconductor moir & eacute; materials4, has remained a mystery and challenged our current understanding of superconductivity in flat bands. Here we...

摘要:Human embryonic bone and joint formation is determined by coordinated differentiation of progenitors in the nascent skeleton. The cell states, epigenetic processes and key regulatory factors that underlie lineage commitment of these cells remain elusive. Here we applied paired transcriptional and epigenetic profiling of approximately 336,000 nucleus droplets and spatial transcriptomics to establish a multi-omic atlas of human embryonic joint and cranium development between 5 and 11 weeks after...

摘要:Two-terminal monolithic perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells demonstrate huge advantages in power conversion efficiency compared with their respective single-junction counterparts1,2. However, suppressing interfacial recombination at the wide-bandgap perovskite/electron transport layer interface, without compromising its superior charge transport performance, remains a substantial challenge for perovskite/silicon tandem cells3,4. By exploiting the nanoscale discretely distributed lithium fluo...

摘要:T cells develop from circulating precursor cells, which enter the thymus and migrate through specialized subcompartments that support their maturation and selection1. In humans, this process starts in early fetal development and is highly active until thymic involution in adolescence. To map the microanatomical underpinnings of this process in pre- and early postnatal stages, we established a quantitative morphological framework for the thymus-the Cortico-Medullary Axis-and used it to perform ...
