Cells use lipid molecules for a wide range of purposes, from forming cell membranes to storing energy, but these molecules can be frustratingly hard to study because it is difficult to trace their ...

Nature’s survey of PhD candidates reveals hard-won wisdom on choosing supervisors, managing mental health and surviving academic culture.

Hopes of securing a United Nations treaty on plastic pollution are fading after the final round of negotiations ended without an agreement.

RNA molecules can adopt complex 3D structures, but whether DNA can self-assemble into similar 3D folded structures has been less clear. In this week’s issue, Luiz Passalacqua and his colleagues use a ...

A big-data analysis shows that online content represents men as older than women in the same occupations and social roles, and that AI reproduces these warped presentations. Lively scientific debates ...

This guide describes how to prepare contributions for submission. We recommend you read this in full if you have not previously submitted a contribution to Nature. We also recommend that, before ...

This year’s Nobel Prize in Chemistry goes to the three chemists behind the world’s most porous solid materials. Plus, the risks of AI models that scheme and lie, and a warning from six former US ...

Root-associated microbial symbionts have a strong influence over the way forest ecosystems function. The identity of the symbionts can help determine how easily trees access nutrients, sequester ...

The gap between average life expectancy and the number of years people are healthy and on the job is widening, with potentially grave consequences for pensioners.

Pure mathematics involves the discovery of patterns between mathematical objects and using these connections to formulate conjectures. Mathematicians have deployed computers since the 1960s to help ...

The discovery of superconductivity in twisted bilayer graphene sparked interest in the electronic properties of similarly distorted 2D crystal lattices. The twisted structure is created by slightly ...
