Digital simulations reveal that rising heat currents deep in Earth's mantle pushed land up to erode and then pulled it down, preserving the Great Unconformity.

A lab study shows that turning off two brake genes, NR4A1 and SOCS3, recharges the energy of cancer-fighting immune cells.

Heating a carbon-trapping material with alternating magnetic fields turns dilute carbon dioxide into methane in minutes, whilst standard heating ruins the catalyst completely.

Researchers developed a one-pot sequential crystallisation method to grow different 2D perovskite semiconductors side by side in a single flat sheet.

A study of over 10,000 people found nearly a thousand statistical links between single-letter genetic variations in gut microbes and human health traits.

A computer model shows that bouncing laser combs through a crystal can weave distant colours into a shared, low-noise quantum network.
