The growth rate of the atmospheric abundance of methane (CH 4) reached a record high of 15.4 ppb yr −1 between 2020 and 2022, but the mechanisms driving the accelerated CH 4 growth have so far been ...

Crystallization of the lunar magma ocean yielded a chemically unique liquid residuum named KREEP. This component is expressed as a large patch on the near side of the Moon and a possible smaller patch ...

As former EPA and ORD scientists, we argue that dismantling ORD would not only jeopardize human and environmental health, but also weaken American science and global competitiveness. ORD’s vital—yet ...

In This IssueMen and women exhibit differences in traits such as height. The genetic mechanisms underlying such sexual dimorphism are unclear, partly due to the presence of sex hormones. Alexander ...

The tessellated material is poised to become a fascinating subject in materials science, following the initial exploration of quasicrystals. Specifically, supramolecular tessellation at the molecular ...

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) overexpression is associated with multiple aggressive solid tumors. Despite recent advances in cancer therapy, and specifically in EGFR-targeted therapy, there ...

Natural ice plays salient roles in making the Earth habitable and sustainable. Previously overlooked, its role in chemical processes is now of emerging interest, particularly due to the freeze ...

The prostaglandin D2 receptor (DP1) functions as a critical regulator of diverse physiological processes, including sleep–wake cycles, allergic responses, and inflammatory cascades. By determining ...

Developing oral biologics has long been a holy grail of protein engineering. Traditional antibodies are large and unstable in the presence of gastrointestinal proteases. Here, we present a strategy to ...

Greening immediately after etiolated-seedling’s emergence from the soil is critical for plants to initiate their autotrophic life cycle through photosynthesis. The greening process relies on a complex ...

Laser-induced graphene isn’t perfect. Compared to deposition-made graphene, it “typically has a lower quality and purity,” explains Yingying Zhang, a materials scientist at Tsinghua University in ...

Calcineurin is a highly conserved phosphatase that plays a central role in sensing calcium and governing transcriptional, posttranscriptional, and posttranslational signaling networks. Calcineurin is ...
