A pioneering study maps the vertical distribution of single-celled organisms in the Bay of Bengal and Eastern Indian Ocean. Results show a dramatic shift from solar-powered surface communities to deep-sea ecosystems dominated by parasites and bacteria-eaters.

Normally invisible to our instruments, 'dark excitons' hold immense promise for quantum technologies but are difficult to activate. Researchers have now developed a paired nanoantenna system that not only makes these elusive particles emit light at room temperature but also precisely routes their signals, paving the way for advanced on-chip quantum circuits.

Researchers are developing a circular approach to climate change by synthesising catalysts directly from carbon dioxide. These carbon-based tools replace scarce minerals and help convert waste emissions into valuable fuels and chemicals.

Remote ocean regions are critical for absorbing human-made CO2, yet our data remains dangerously sparse. A new study evaluates whether citizen science, specifically data from racing sailboats, can fill the gaps. While adding current sailboat tracks improves mean estimates, it is not yet enough to correct long-term trend errors.
