Our results provide the first empirical demonstration that the modification of plastic responses to the environment can drive the evolution of somatic differentiation, a key step in the evolution of a new kind of evolutionary individual.

These atlases reveal an extensive rewiring of the extracellular matrix (ECM), including a marked suppression of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) biosynthesis, leading to an approximately three-to-fourfold reduction in joint GAG content in humans compared with non-human apes.

Here we show, using century-scale records of agricultural liming and anthropogenic acidity inputs for the Mississippi River Basin, that agricultural liming has acted as a net carbon sink over the past century.

To our knowledge, this represents the first demonstration of imaging dominated by an artificial, laser-driven muon beam.

In addition to numerous NUMTs and diverse families of transposable elements, an almost-complete chromosome of R. africae origin was identified in the cell line genome, localised to the putative sex chromosome.

We introduce PUBG Ally, an embodied agent for PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS that can reason, act autonomously, and play alongside players as a voice-enabled teammate.

These results establish a third-generation latent heat storage mode, retaining the charged state as a kinetically arrested amorphous solid and thereby fundamentally shifting the stability criterion from supercooled-liquid nucleation suppression to glass-transition and structural-relaxation kinetics.

We introduce Spot, Separate, and Enhance (SSE), the first multimodal, user-guided generative model for audio remixing and enhancement.

As the first dataset of its kind in Sri Lanka, and among the few worldwide to link smart meter records with longitudinal survey data at this scale, it provides a unique resource for energy, machine learning and policy research, with known gaps in smart meter coverage documented for users.

By measuring the amplitude and phase of the acoustic pressure field, we map the orbital's $f$-like structure and locate its Wannier center in a void between lattice sites---providing the first phase-resolved image of an obstructed Wannier orbital.

Here we report two 176Lu+ single-ion optical frequency references, each with evaluated fractional frequency uncertainty near 1 × 10−19, which are directly compared by correlation spectroscopy and demonstrate agreement, with a measured relative frequency difference of [−0.1 ± (5.7)stat ± (1.0)sys] × 10−19, where ‘stat’ and ‘sys’ indicate the statistical and systematic uncertainty, respectively.

Here, we identify a prefrontal-hypothalamic circuit that exerts powerful, bidirectional control over heart rate in monkeys.

To close this gap, we build a privacy-preserving pipeline that turns illicitly sourced infostealer logs into a reproducible research artifact, minimizing sensitive data while preserving measurement utility, and use it to construct a dataset of 170,298 victims from logs of multiple infostealer families.

We applied our pipeline to the 167 million files of the Stack-Edu corpus, creating the first known large-scale open-taxonomy knowledge graph for source code.

Here we introduce a bottom-up strategy for programmable lattice engineering in organic van der Waals heterostructures of 2D polymers.

In this paper, we establish the first comprehensive lifespan reference charts for beta oscillations (N = 22,094, ages: 1-100 years) using complementary analytic approaches that isolate periodic oscillations from aperiodic background activity.

We show that outbreak risks are typically highest in mosaic landscapes where people and livestock live alongside forests and fragmented ecosystems.

The UVW kinematics of WISEA J155349.96+693355.2, its bulk metallicity, and its modest alpha enrichment ([$\alpha$/Fe] = +0.15${}_{-0.06}^{+0.04}$ dex) are all equivalent to stars identified in the Gaia-Enceladus Milky Way substructure, making it the first brown dwarf with kinematic and chemical evidence of association.

People who read a misleading AI summary were significantly less likely to accurately recall the original event, compared to people who read an accurate AI summary.

In this paper, we present the first analysis of streaming deep reinforcement learning for adaptive continual learning in robotics.
