Mechanophore cross-linking enhances ballistic energy dissipation of polymers - Nature
Embedding a small fraction of force-sensitive mechanophores as cross-links into common polymers enhances ballistic energy dissipation.
Commensal-derived acetylcholine enhances mucosal immune education - Nature
A diet–microbiome–host axis strengthens mucosal immune defences and reinforces host–microbiota mutualism.
Earth’s east–west albedo symmetry - Nature
Analysis of a 25-year satellite record shows that Earth has a persistent east–west albedo symmetry split at 27° E, with clear-sky albedo, cloud radiative effect and open-ocean fraction exhibiting a triple symmetry around this meridian.
Scientists identify a cell type in the brain that was previously ignored and it may explain why human memory has no known upper limit - Space Daily
The human brain contains roughly 86 billion neurons. That number appears in almost every popular account of memory and intelligence, and it tends to carry an implicit argument: that the scale of human cognition follows from the scale of this cell count. What …
Relativistic electron acceleration at the bow shock of Jupiter and beyond - Nature
NASA’s Juno observations show relativistic electron acceleration at the bow shock of Jupiter and establish a universal scaling law linking shock size to maximum cosmic ray energy.
Towards mRNA therapeutics 2.0 - Nature
mRNA technology is being applied to develop a new generation of therapies for rare and common diseases. This Review discusses insights from clinical studies on mRNA-based therapeutics, including enzyme replacement therapies, cancer immunotherapies, genome-mod…
