Ozone recovery is predicted to shift westerly winds, which will reduce the amount of warm water flowing into the Southern Ocean.

Laurent Marivaux works to identify ancient mammals to understand evolutionary history in South America.

During nutrient stress, macroautophagy degrades cellular macromolecules, thereby providing biosynthetic building blocks while simultaneously remodeling the proteome1,2. While machinery responsible for initiation of macroautophagy is well characterized3,4, our understanding of the extent to which individual proteins, protein complexes and organelles are selected for autophagic degradation, and the underlying

Hours of footage of zebrafish embryos let researchers capture and study this key moment in development.

Using a metal–organic framework, researchers reduced the volume of a water-based mixture by 7%.

The rise of AI-generated fakes, evidence of the earliest-known wooden structure, and how NASA’s OSIRIS-REx brought asteroid samples back to Earth.

The Wide Field Survey Telescope will scan the skies for stellar explosions. Plus, how to do science in a violent border region and how much we owe to earthworms.

Imaging shows that the marine arthropod had feasted on small shelly invertebrates.

A move from one sector to another isn’t a one-way street. Researchers who have pivoted between the two explain why.

Observing this simple phenomenon had eluded physicists for decades.

Small rubber suction cups filled with medication were better than tablets at delivering compounds into the bloodstream.

NASA’s Perseverance rover has collected valuable samples, but a new report says the plan to fetch them is unworkable.

New approach for analysing global patterns of biodiversity.

A data analysis shows that intense tropical cyclones are shifting earlier in the season all over the globe, owing mainly to anthropogenic climate warming.

In some areas of social science, around half of studies can’t be replicated. A new test-fast, fail-fast initiative aims to show what research is hot — and what’s not.

The US National Science Foundation announces plan to use the historic site for biology and computer science education.

Geochemist Charles Balagizi monitors water safety and volcanic activity in a region where violence is common. The deaths of colleagues means he never assumes an area is safe.

Up to 92% of Earth could be uninhabitable to mammals in 250 million years. Plus, millions of people live on land contaminated by metal mining and how Dolly the sheep’s legacy lives on.

Designing courses on the basis of what really matters to people is a win–win for students and society.

The Wide Field Survey Telescope is the largest facility of its kind in the Northern Hemisphere.

Molnupiravir, an antiviral medication that has been widely used against SARS-CoV-2, acts by inducing mutations in the virus genome during replication. Most random mutations are likely to be deleterious to the virus, and many will be lethal, and so molnupiravir-induced elevated mutation rates reduce viral load1,2. However, if some patients treated with molnupiravir do not fully clear SARS-CoV-2 infections

Post-acute infection syndromes (PAIS) may develop after acute viral disease1. Infection with SARS-CoV-2 can result in the development of a PAIS known as “Long COVID” (LC). Individuals with LC frequently report unremitting fatigue, post-exertional malaise, and a variety of cognitive and autonomic dysfunctions2–4; however, the biological processes associated with the development and persistence of these

A large cohort study measured how frequently women reported bleeding after receiving COVID-19 jabs.

A haul of rocks and dust from the asteroid Bennu has been successfully dropped off in the US desert. Plus, AlphaFold is touted as the next big thing for drug discovery — but is it?

Efforts to prevent infections and keep vulnerable people out of hospital are beginning to pay off, but deploying these strategies presents new challenges.

Emerging evidence suggests that pathogens can pair up to work together against immune system defences.

The consequences of respiratory syncytial virus infection sometimes linger for years — and scientists are trying to work out whether there’s a causal link.

A Nature survey finds that scientists are concerned, as well as excited, by the increasing use of artificial-intelligence tools in research.

Isolation can have lasting effects on the composition of microbes in the gut, but links to other health conditions are still poorly understood.

Drugs that counter RSV infection can safeguard newborns, offering another mode of protection alongside vaccines.

The invisible enemy.

A new Nature series will explore the many ways in which artificial intelligence is changing science — for better and for worse.
