摘要:Altering gut bacteria in male mice revealed that microorganisms are needed for normal sperm development and offspring health. Scientists discuss the implications in terms of understanding microbes, male fertility and pregnancy.

摘要:Although cancer initiation and progression are generally associated with the accumulation of somatic mutations(1,2), substantial epigenomic alterations underlie many aspects of tumorigenesis and cancer susceptibility(36) , suggesting that genetic mechanisms might not be the only drivers of malignant transformation(7). However, whether purely non-genetic mechanisms are sufcient to initiate tumorigenesis irrespective of mutations has been unknown. Here, we show that a transient perturbation of t...

摘要:In palaeontological studies, groups with consistent ecological and morphological traits across a clade's history (functional groups)(1) afford different perspectives on biodiversity dynamics than do species and genera(2,3), which are evolutionarily ephemeral. Here we analyse Triton, a global dataset of Cenozoic macroperforate planktonic foraminiferal occurrences(4), to contextualize changes in latitudinal equitability gradients(1), functional diversity, palaeolatitudinal specialization and com...

摘要:Entanglement and its propagation are central to understanding many physical properties of quantum systems(1-3). Notably, within closed quantum many-body systems, entanglement is believed to yield emergent thermodynamic behaviour(4-7). However, a universal understanding remains challenging owing to the non-integrability and computational intractability of most large-scale quantum systems. Quantum hardware platforms provide a means to study the formation and scaling of entanglement in interactin...

摘要:The gut microbiota operates at the interface of host-environment interactions to influence human homoeostasis and metabolic networks 1-4 . Environmental factors that unbalance gut microbial ecosystems can therefore shape physiological and disease-associated responses across somatic tissues 5-9 . However, the systemic impact of the gut microbiome on the germline-and consequently on the F1 offspring it gives rise to-is unexplored 10 . Here we show that the gut microbiota act as a key interface b...

摘要:A key challenge in realizing practical quantum networks for long-distance quantum communication involves robust entanglement between quantum memory nodes connected by fibre optical infrastructure(1-3). Here we demonstrate a two-node quantum network composed of multi-qubit registers based on silicon-vacancy (SiV) centres in nanophotonic diamond cavities integrated with a telecommunication fibre network. Remote entanglement is generated by the cavity-enhanced interactions between the electron sp...
