AI technologies need to be safe and transparent. There are few, if any, benefits from being outside efforts to achieve this.

Astronomy is arguably the oldest science, and has featured strongly throughout the history of Nature — the first quasar, the first exoplanet, the nature of spiral nebulae, to name but a few of the ...

Genetic engineering is the act of modifying the genetic makeup of an organism. Modifications can be generated by methods such as gene targeting, nuclear transplantation, transfection of synthetic ...

The team select some of their favourite stories from the past 12 months.

The CARD11-BCL10-MALT1 (CBM) complex governs canonical NF-κB signaling and MALT1 protease activation downstream of TCR stimulation. Here, the authors evaluate the contribution of the E3 ligases LUBAC ...

Gene regulation refers to the mechanisms that act to induce or repress the expression of a gene. These include structural and chemical changes to the genetic material, binding of proteins to specific ...

One side of TOI-561 b is constantly locked towards its star, and the observations showed that this face is very cool for such a closely orbiting planet. A thick atmosphere must be transferring heat ...
