Electrochemistry offers tunable, cost effective and environmentally friendly alternatives to carry out redox reactions but the use of organoiodine compounds as electrocatalysts is largely underdeveloped. Here, the authors report an environmentally benign iodine(I/III) electrocatalytic platform for the in situ generation of dichloroiodoarenes for different reactions within a continuous flow setup.

Quantum states are incredibly sensitive to their environment, making them perfect for ultrasensitive quantum detection—if they can be maintained long enough. Here, the authors showed that they can ‘immortalize’ the excited state of a coupled light-matter system using a technique called ‘coherent perfect absorption’.

In a time-resolved Coulomb explosion imaging study using ultrafast extreme ultraviolet pulses, combined with theoretical simulations, authors reveal unexpected asymmetric rearrangement of carbon dioxide dimer ion, including a CO₃ moiety formation.

Solvents play a crucial role in catalysis, affecting both activity and selectivity. Here the authors demonstrate how solvent affinity to the catalyst surface influences the reaction pathways of 4-propylguaiacol.

Vijayakumar and coworkers report the integration of a designed, 2D crystalline protein assembly as a dynamic gatekeeper into mesoporous silicon photonic crystals for the selective sensing of hydrogen cyanide

Hydrological risks drive migration more than socioeconomic factors. Vulnerable groups often stay in high-risk areas or migrate nearby. The study reveals an S-shaped migration pattern influenced by settlement resilience and adaptability.

The climate-dependency of microbial carbon use efficiency thermal sensitivity is demonstrated in a forest transect experiment, with implications for soil carbon feedbacks to climate warming.

In situ particle-scale measurements show that black carbon absorption enhancement asymptotes to 2.0 inside a pyrocumulonimbus cloud. This value denotes the upper limit of absorption enhancement for thickly coated black carbon in the atmosphere.

Multi-stage Archaean magmatic underplating events are reported from the Baishan continental nucleus, North China Craton. Such underplating processes occurred in a stagnant lid geodynamic regime and led to the growth and maturation of the craton.

Utilizing high-resolution climate models under a high emission scenario, this study demonstrates an anticipated advancement and extension of the coastal upwelling season, accompanied by intricate variations in intensity along oceanic eastern boundaries.

Here the authors perform a high-throughput screen to identify compounds that stimulate or repress the splicing of neuronal microexons. One of these compounds rescues the splicing of several microexons in the brains of mice haploinsufficient for Srrm4.

Here, the authors reveal the emerging replication timing program in mouse zygotes and 2-cell embryos, which differs from embryonic stem cells. They find systematic differences between the replication timing of the two parental genomes at pericentromeric regions and Polycomb target sites.

Fittonia albivenis is shade-adapted ornamental plant that can efficiently use far-red light for photosynthesis. Here the authors describe the structure of the red-shifted F. albivenis photosystem I to give insights into how plants can use far-red light to drive photochemistry.

The heterogeneous characters of fibrotic scars after spinal cord injury remains unclear. Here, the authors show the heterogeneous distribution, source and function of meningeal fibroblasts and perivascular fibroblasts in fibrotic scars.

A significant proportion of individuals with inherited neuromuscular disease do not receive a genetic diagnosis. Here, the authors establish CCG expansions in the 5’ untranslated region of ABCD3 as a cause of oculopharyngodistal myopathy (OPDM) in individuals of European ancestry and identify increased expression of expansion-containing ABCD3 transcripts as a possible disease mechanism underlying muscle degeneration.

This manuscript evaluates forecasts of laboratory-confirmed influenza hospital admissions, a new target for influenza forecasting in the United States. Across two influenza seasons, the FluSight ensemble is robust compared to submitted models.

Malawi experienced a large cholera outbreak in 2022-2023 that was associated with high morbidity and mortality and distributed across all 29 districts of the country. This study describes the epidemiological and genomic features of the outbreak and attempts to understand the reasons for its severity.

Hydrological risks drive migration more than socioeconomic factors. Vulnerable groups often stay in high-risk areas or migrate nearby. The study reveals an S-shaped migration pattern influenced by settlement resilience and adaptability.

Using satellite observations, communities in the U.S. containing warehouses experience more truck traffic and increased health-harming pollution with a disproportionate number of racial and ethnic minorities living in these communities.

The authors showcase a directional information modulation scheme based on a programmable metasurface, which opens a new route to ensure physical-layer security and serves as a stepping stone toward endogenous secure communications.

Power outages have a statistically significant and negative impact on electric vehicle adoption. A doubling of power outages in one year in China can create a decline of more than $ 31.3 million per year in carbon reduction benefits.

El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) has been shown to relate to the epidemiology of child infectious diseases, but evidence for child deaths is limited. Here, the authors show that maternal exposure to high levels of ENSO before conception and giving birth may increase under-five mortality.
