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...
