Developing efficient and reusable artificial catalysts for peptide bond hydrolysis is challenging. This work presents the catalytic properties of a Zr-MOF, MIP-201, which features excellent catalytic activity and selectivity, good condition tolerance, and exceptional recycling ability.

It remains unclear how predictions of future threat affect memory recall, specifically in the case of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Here, the authors combined computational modeling and brain connectivity analyses to show that individuals with PTSD have exaggerated predictive control and reduced reactive control in a memory suppression tas...

Designing molecular materials with very large exciton diffusion lengths would remove some of the intrinsic limitations of present-day organic optoelectronic devices. Yet, the nature of excitons in these materials is still not sufficiently well understood. Here we present Frenkel exciton surface hopping, an efficient method to propagate excitons thr...

Arabidopsis root hair growth is enhanced at low temperatures. Here the authors show that the class III peroxidases PRX62 and PRX69 modulate ROS homeostasis and cell wall characteristics, and promote root hair elongation at low temperature.

Neuroblastoma is characterised by cell types that feature mesenchymal like or sympathetic noradrenergic transcriptional profiles. Here, the authors show that exogenous factors secreted by sympathetic ganglion cells modulate these profiles, activating gene programs promoting the metastatic process.

In contrast to future projections, paleoclimate records often find wetter subtropics in tandem with elevated CO2. Here, a compilation of proxies and simulations are used to reveal the climate dynamics and feedbacks responsible for generating wet subtropics during the mid-Pliocene.

Spin-torque nano-oscillators have sparked interest for their potential in neuromorphic computing, however concrete demonstration are limited. Here, Romera et al show how spin-torque nano-oscillators can mutually synchronise and recognize temporal patterns, much like neurons, illustrating their potential for neuromorphic computing.

Conventional silicon-based transistors, which sit at the heart of every computer, are fast approaching the limit of miniaturisation. Here, Meng et al demonstrate a field-effect transistor composed of a single rutheniumdiarylethene molecule with large on/off ratio.

Phonon anomalies are commonly attributed to Fermi-surface nesting or phonon anharmonicity, but these mechanisms do not apply in all cases. Here, the authors propose a new mechanism based on electron-momentum-dependent electron-phonon coupling in the case of YNi2B2C, that could also apply to other materials.

Abstract Missense variants in RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) underlie a spectrum of disease phenotypes, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, frontotemporal dementia, and inclusion body myopathy. Here, we present ten independent families with a severe, progressive muscular dystrophy, reminiscent of oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD) but of m...
