NiPS₃ is a van der Waals material, which in the bulk is antiferromagnetic. Whether the antiferromagnetism persists down to the monolayer remains a topic of debate. Here, through magnetotransport measurements Cheon et al find that monolayer NiPS₃ exhibits two magnetic transitions, with a low temperature long-range ordered state.

In this work, the authors designed an optimized CuZn bimetallic hydrogel electrolyte and assembled a reusable quasi-solid-state dynamic tinting window for building energy modulation.

Recently, chiral superconductivity has been observed in rhombohedral tetralayer graphene under electron doping, arising from a spin- and valley-polarized normal state. Here, the authors propose a superconducting mechanism based on over-screening of Coulomb interaction due to charge fluctuations.

The authors experimentally demonstrate the coexistence of superconductivity and ferroelectricity at LaAlO₃/KTaO₃ interfaces. The superconducting transition temperature is enhanced due to ferroelectric polarization-induced reduction in dielectric constant, which narrows the interfacial potential well, confining carriers closer to the interface.

Planetary flybys of spacecrafts offer rare opportunities to explore plasma environments in space. Here, the authors show that BepiColombo mission’s six Mercury flybys have detected coherent plasma waves, revealing nonlinear resonant interactions with energetic electrons.

The authors develop a Waste-to-Resource Knowledge Graph database using Large Language Models by extracting information from research articles, providing a large-scale and readily accessible database for Industrial Symbiosis identification applications.

The study demonstrates a cost-effective hyperspectral tomography system for continuous monitoring of ozone and its precursors, using drones and light-emitting diodes. It provides high-resolution, all-day data, aiding in understanding pollution dynamics and identifying pollution sources.

This study shows that river-derived dissolved black carbon is conservatively transported through the shelf to the deep sea of the northwestern Pacific marginal seas, suggesting efficient preservation of this slow-cycling carbon pool in the ocean.

What makes slow earthquakes “slower” than ordinary earthquakes has long been enigmatic. This study presents the experimental reproduction of multiple slow earthquake statistics by shearing soft hydrogel particles in a viscous fluid.

This study shows that historical precipitation variability shapes current and future record-breaking precipitation probabilities, with regions with low current records being more at risk. High-risk regions are abundant around the world, leading to a quarter billion people facing potential precipitation disasters by 2050.

The authors identify TMEM145 as a critical protein in cochlear outer hair cells, responsible for linking their stereocilia. Mice lacking TMEM145 develop severe hearing loss at an early age, providing new insights into hearing loss mechanisms.

Z-DNA forms at highly active genes, but its function is unclear. Here, the authors show that MYC recruits FACT to promote Z-DNA formation within nucleosomes, enabling RNA Polymerase II loading and enhancing transcription, revealing a mechanistic role for Z-DNA in MYC-driven regulation.

By mapping the photocycles of reversibly switching fluorescent proteins, the authors show that tuned activation and red/NIR co-illumination lead to increased signal and reduced photobleaching, prolonging live-cell imaging across super-resolution and multiplexing modalities.

In this study, the authors use a combination of experimental and modeling approaches to show that a human gut bacterial community can exist in different states under the same conditions. The mechanism behind these alternative states is likely based on metabolic change in response to nutrient depletion.

Homologous recombination is essential for DNA repair. Here, the authors present cryo-EM structures capturing five distinct intermediates of the RAD51 filament during strand exchange. These findings suggest a spatially coordinated, stepwise mechanism where the NTD guides DNA bending, while the L2 loop and S2 sites promote strand separation and product stabilization.

Follow-up telephone interviews are crucial but labour intensive in large-scale clinical trials. Here, the authors show that a specialized large language model automates this process, outperforming both existing AI systems and human experts in accuracy and efficiency.

Here the authors report a randomized controlled trial showing that a previously developed artificial intelligence model estimates patient mortality risk as accurately as doctors and standard risk scores, but did not change clinical care decisions in the emergency department. This suggests that prediction accuracy alone does not necessarily translate into real-world clinical impact.

Previous clinical studies suggested that Insulin-like growth factor binding-protein 7 (IGFBP7) is elevated in early stages of diabetes. Here authors showed tubule and glomerular-specific IGFBP7 promotes diabetic kidney disease.

Treatments to cure chronic hepatitis B (HBV) infection are currently lacking. Here, the authors identify an HBV targeting siRNA that exhibits potent and broad-spectrum antiviral activity in preclinical animal models and demonstrates a favorable safety profile and functional cure indicators, promising clinical translation potential.

The molecular mechanisms underlying ferroptosis in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remain to be explored. Here, the authors highlight the role of THRAP3 in inducing ferroptosis resistance via SLU7-mediated alternative splicing of GIT2 in AML.

The authors develop a Waste-to-Resource Knowledge Graph database using Large Language Models by extracting information from research articles, providing a large-scale and readily accessible database for Industrial Symbiosis identification applications.

L-phosphinothricin (PPT) is a broad-spectrum herbicide targeting glutamine synthetase. Inefficient PPT uptake confers resistance in M. polymorpha, while ectopic expression of Arabidopsis CAT5 transporter promotes PPT accumulation and susceptibility.

A data-driven dynamic model for inverter-based resources in power grids is proposed, which couples neural networks with a physical inverter interface, enabling the model output to follow physical laws and significantly improving the accuracy of grid stability studies.

This study maps global hotspots of cropland expansion into non-forest ecosystems, revealing extensive conversion inside and outside protected areas that threatens biodiversity and underscores an urgent need for conservation efforts beyond forests.

This study develops a distributive justice framework for allocating subnational carbon budgets. Applying it to the EU, it reveals substantial within-country differences in production- and consumption-based allocations, with implications for designing equitable net-zero pathways.
