The U.S. reneged on aid commitments. Nepal’s malnourished children are paying the price  Hard-won progress in improving child and maternal nutrition hangs in the balance Japan’s new seafloor monitors could reveal how ‘slow slip’ earthquakes turn into big ones  Network could add 20 minutes of tsunami warning at dangerous Nankai Trough Structural basis of BAX pore formation | Science During apoptosis, cytosolic BAX monomers are translocated to the mitochondria to permeabilize the outer membrane. Here, we identified a dimer of BAX dimers as the basic repeating unit of its various oligomeric forms: arcs, lines, and rings. Cryo–electron ... Out-of-Anatolia: Cultural and genetic interactions during the Neolithic expansion in the Aegean | Science West Anatolia has been a crucial yet elusive element in the Neolithic expansion from the Fertile Crescent to Europe. In this work, we describe the changing genetic and cultural landscapes of early Holocene West Anatolia using 30 new paleogenomes. We show ... Female lineages and changing kinship patterns in Neolithic Çatalhöyük | Science Combining 131 paleogenomes with bioarchaeological and archaeological data, we studied social organization and gendered practices in Çatalhöyük East Mound (7100 to 5950 BCE), a major Neolithic settlement in Central Anatolia. In early Çatalhöyük, burials ... Event structure sculpts neural population dynamics in the lateral entorhinal cortex | Science Our experience of the world is a continuous stream of events that must be segmented and organized at multiple timescales. The neural mechanisms underlying this process remain unknown. In this work, we simultaneously recorded hundreds to thousands of ... Reactivation of mammalian regeneration by turning on an evolutionarily disabled genetic switch | Science Mammals display prominent diversity in the ability to regenerate damaged ear pinna, but the genetic changes underlying the failure of regeneration remain elusive. We performed comparative single-cell and spatial transcriptomic analyses of rabbits and ... Cascading land surface hazards as a nexus in the Earth system | Science This Review synthesizes progress and outlines a new framework for understanding how land surface hazards interact and propagate as sediment cascades across Earth’s surface, influenced by interactions among the atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and ... Let there be light: From passive agricultural sensing to active intervention | Science In Thailand, the word BaiKhao (ใบข้าว)—meaning “rice leaf”—embodies a quiet agricultural revolution. For generations, farmers gauged crops’ nitrogen fertilizer needs by visually assessing leaf greenness, a method vulnerable to variations in lighting ... Accelerated discovery of stable, extra-large-pore nano zeolites with micro-electron diffraction | Science Stable zeolites with extra-large pores and nano dimensions that are capable of processing large molecules are in high demand but have been difficult to produce. Their complex structures and nanoscale crystal sizes present challenges for analysis using ... Origin and radiation of squids revealed by digital fossil-mining | Science The evolution of soft-bodied squids, which provide a major part of the biomass in modern oceans globally, is poorly understood owing to their patchy fossil record. We provide a comprehensive evolutionary history of squids through “digital fossil-mining” ... Interplate slip before, during, and after the 2024 Mw 7 Hyuga-nada earthquake, southwest Japan | Science Using Global Navigation Satellite System data, we investigated the interplate slip before, during, and after the 2024 Hyuga-nada earthquake in Japan. Before the earthquake, a moment magnitude (Mw) 6.0 slow-slip event (SSE) was observed from late 2023 in ... Migrating shallow slow slip on the Nankai Trough megathrust captured by borehole observatories | Science Patterns of strain accumulation and release offshore in subduction zones are directly linked to the potential for shallow coseismic slip and tsunamigenesis, but these patterns remain elusive. In this work, we analyze formation pore pressure records from ... Gradient refractive indices enable squid structural color and inspire multispectral materials | Science The manipulation of light by means of materials with varying refractive index distributions is widespread among natural systems and modern technologies. However, understanding how animals leverage refractive index differences for dynamic color changes ...
