Aerial observations and experiments with a simulated atmosphere show that isoprene, a gas emitted by trees, is a precursor of particles in the upper atmosphere. The findings could help to improve climate predictions.

Lightweight mechanical legs enable this fixed-wing drone to navigate complicated terrain.

Ten years in the making, Candice P. Chu’s workflow takes some of the pain out of reference management.

Roger Penrose, now 93, never shied away from wild ideas and the ensuring debates. The first full-length biography reveals more about the mathematician and the man.

The discovery that the ageing of lung stem cells drives iron insufficiency and reduces the capacity of the cells to form tumours has potential implications for the treatment of cancer and for regenerative medicine.

Could breast cancer survival rates be improved simply by timing treatment to a specific stage of the menstrual cycle? Mouse and human data suggest sensitivity to chemotherapy is affected by fluctuations in ovarian hormones.

Artificial-intelligence model provides forecasts 15 days out, as well as the probability of accuracy. And it does so faster than the best operational model.

A great scientist doesn’t necessarily make an effective science adviser — but schooling and practice can help to bridge the gap.

Data suggest that breast cancer could be more susceptible to chemotherapy in a phase when progesterone is low — plus, why the debate around whether AI is close to human-level intelligence is hotting up.

During some types of cell death, cells rupture to release molecules that cause inflammation. This must happen at the right time and place to restore health. How is the protein NINJ1 regulated so that cells break open only when they die?

Scientists pinpoint brain circuits linked to either resilience or vulnerability to adversity, which affect a stressed animal’s pursuit of pleasure.

Could human-AI collaborations be the future of interdisciplinary studies?

A road map to success based on Nature’s hiring-in-science survey, with advice for every stage from application to offer.

A Nature global survey finds that most specialists are unhappy with systems to provide science advice to policymakers.

How many researchers are using the AI tool? Nature gathers data and talks to members of the academic community.

To restore tropical forests at scale requires cost-effective methods. An estimated 215 million hectares — an area larger than that of Mexico — have potential for natural forest regeneration, which could lead to an estimated above-ground sequestration of 23.4 gigatonnes of carbon over 30 years.
