Ocean energy extraction is on the rise, but complex flows still challenge reliable tidal stream energy generation. Here, using aerial drones and boat-based surveys, authors map out the turbulent flows around an idled, utility-scale floating tidal turbine.

Simultaneously converting plastic waste and CO₂ into value-added chemicals remains a challenge. Here, the authors demonstrate the feasibility of transforming waste plastics and CO₂ into H₂ and CO by utilizing solar irradiation via a photovoltaic system and an electrified FeCrAl heating wire.

The authors present an exciting 3D meta-holography based on angular spectrum diffraction theory that significantly improves depth limits. The showcased amorphous silicon metasurface with independent polarization control herein achieves a 47.5x depth increase and 0.95 dm depth reconstructions for polarization-independent and different color 3D meta-hologram.

Metastable water, when dynamically over-compressed, freezes into ice VII. Here the authors present a dynamic diamond anvil cell (d-DAC) study that unifies data acquired across multiple platforms, explaining the solidification pressure evolution under varying compression rates using classical nucleation theory.

Here, authors report that local ionic transport across cathode catalyst layers is vital in improving CO production from CO₂. This work demonstrates the potential of a CO₂ electrolyzer constructed from materials free from platinum group metals.

Forestation can be a valuable tool for mitigating climate change. Using an Earth System Model, Moustakis et al. show that ambitious deployment in the range of country pledges can mitigate global temperature under an overshoot pathway by 0.2 ^oC, but highlight the associated socioeconomic tradeoffs.

Lab experiments reveal that slow-slip events, generated by heterogeneity in fault composition, can trigger earthquakes by acting as an initial rupture. The slow-slip region can extend beyond the heterogeneity depending on loading conditions.

A study shows an emergent constraint on the Amazon carbon cycle response to climate change. The CMIP6 ESMs that overestimate past global temperature trends, tend to project hotter, drier conditions and greater climate-induced Amazon carbon source.

This study shows that the formation of bottom water and the related sea ice processes in the Ross Sea are significantly affected by major climate patterns in the southern hemisphere’s extratropical regions.

New molecular technologies have helped unveil facets of the genome beyond the canonical proteome, such as microproteins and short ORFs, products of alternative splicing, regulatory non-coding RNAs, transposable elements, and cis-regulatory DNA. In this Review, Gervais & Shapiro highlight what is known about this ‘hidden genome’ in fungi.

Parkin is a ubiquitin ligase that protects against early-onset Parkinson’s disease. Here, the authors show a molecular glue that promotes binding of phosphorylated ubiquitin to parkin and rescues the mitophagy defect of mutations in the parkin ubiquitin-like domain.

The mechanisms by which the brain processes the intertwined states of anxiety and fear remain unclear. Here, authors show that distinct inhibitory microcircuits in the ventral hippocampus differentially regulate anxiety and fear behaviors.

The authors introduce STANDS, a GAN-based framework that integrates three core tasks for the multi-sample detection and dissection of anomalous tissue domains from spatial transcriptomics data, revealing pathogenic heterogeneity behind diseases.

How the brain sequentially encodes knowledge is not fully understood. Here authors propose a geometric framework for the elusive neural principles of serial reasoning and sequence encoding. Neural representations are theorized to align along a learned mental line, solving serial position and transitive inference tasks.

Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) is currently treated with broad-spectrum immune suppressive drugs. Here the authors decipher inflammatory niches in the kidney of patients with ANCA-GN by combining spatial and single-cell transcriptomics to identify ustekinumab as a promising treatment option and successfully treat four ANCA-GN patients.

Severe febrile illnesses in children may be various in presentation and aetiology but involve immune dysfunction amenable to immunomodulation. Here, the authors identify shared neutrophil and T cell dysfunction and a distinct interferon signature in critically ill children with severe febrile illness.

The poor survival rate for bladder cancers is associated with the lack of effective non-invasive theranostic techniques. Here this group reports a lanthanide-doped nanotransducer activated for real-time NIR-II imaging thereby navigates the photodynamic treatment of bladder cancer.

Hemolysis heightens susceptibility to lung injury and predicts poor outcomes in hemolytic disorders. Here, the authors show that MFSD7C shields the lung from hemolysis-related ferroptosis by stabilizing mitochondrial function and regulating GPX4 and ACSL4 expression to prevent lipid peroxidation.

Here the authors show that arbovirus vector competence of Aedes mosquitoes is modulated by the midgut microbiota and identify the metabolite sphingosine from the gut symbiotic bacterium Enterobacter hormaechei_B17 (Eh_B17) as a factor mediating resistance to ZIKV and DENV infection.

How prioritization affects the format of visual working memory representations is currently not understood. Analyzing iEEG recordings in epilepsy patients, the authors demonstrate the critical role of recurrent computations and beta frequency oscillations during the selective attention to particular visual working memory content in the PFC.

Van Ouwerkerk and colleagues examine the benefits of renewable energy investments for German households during the recent energy crisis. They find a typical household with a heat pump saved 1850 € and reduced emissions by 250 g/kWh annually, leading to greater gains in resilience when compared to temporary price breaks on energy.

Being born to a family with low-income has been related to lower socioeconomic status attainment in adulthood. Here, the authors report the effects of exposure to a family income transfer in an American Indian population on educational outcomes of the next generation of children.

This study finds that U.S. vehicle assembly plants that have fully transitioned from gas engine to electric vehicle assembly have required higher labor intensity. It suggests that more, not fewer, workers are needed for electric vehicle assembly.
