- The origin of the oldest solid objects in the Solar Systemvon Fred Ciesla am 16. Juli 2025 um 00:00
Nature, Published online: 16 July 2025; doi:10.1038/d41586-025–02058-zObservations of a young star offer a glimpse of the high-temperature conditions that shaped rock formation in the early Solar System.
- Prophages block cell surface receptors to preserve their viral progenyvon Véronique L. Taylor am 16. Juli 2025 um 00:00
Nature, Published online: 16 July 2025; doi:10.1038/s41586-025–09260-zZip promotes the accumulation of free phages in bacterial lysogen communities, safeguarding phage progeny.
- The breakthrough proof bringing mathematics closer to a grand unified theoryvon Ananyo Bhattacharya am 16. Juli 2025 um 00:00
Nature, Published online: 16 July 2025; doi:10.1038/d41586-025–02197-3The Langlands programme has inspired and befuddled mathematicians for more than 50 years. A major advance has now opened up new worlds for them to explore.
- Refractory solid condensation detected in an embedded protoplanetary diskvon M. K. McClure am 16. Juli 2025 um 00:00
Nature, Published online: 16 July 2025; doi:10.1038/s41586-025–09163-zObservations at infrared and millimetre wavelengths of the young protostar HOPS-315 show a gaseous disk captured at the point at which solids are first starting to condense, the t = 0 for planet formation.
- Observation of charge–parity symmetry breaking in baryon decaysvon R. Aaij am 16. Juli 2025 um 00:00
Nature, Published online: 16 July 2025; doi:10.1038/s41586-025–09119-3The LHCb experiment at CERN has observed significant asymmetries between the decay rates of the beauty baryon and its CP-conjugated antibaryon, thus demonstrating CP violation in baryon decays.
- Super-resolution spectroscopy with ‘spiky’ X‑ray lasersvon Mizuho Fushitani am 16. Juli 2025 um 00:00
Nature, Published online: 16 July 2025; doi:10.1038/d41586-025–02057-0Random fluctuations in the intensity and energy of X‑ray lasers, which generally limit performance, have been harnessed for high-resolution spectroscopy.
- Birds use a tiny RNA fragment to balance sex chromosomesam 16. Juli 2025 um 00:00
Nature, Published online: 16 July 2025; doi:10.1038/d41586-025–02208-3Birds use a unique mechanism to balance gene expression from their sex chromosomes. MiR-2954 is a microRNA that suppresses specific target genes, preventing them from being overexpressed in male birds and ensuring the males’ survival. It is not required in females.
- Neutrophils drive vascular occlusion, tumour necrosis and metastasisvon Jose M. Adrover am 16. Juli 2025 um 00:00
Nature, Published online: 16 July 2025; doi:10.1038/s41586-025–09278-3Neutrophils actively induce tumour necrosis, driving vascular occlusion, pleomorphic necrosis and metastasis.
- Super-resolution stimulated X‑ray Raman spectroscopyvon Kai Li am 16. Juli 2025 um 00:00
Nature, Published online: 16 July 2025; doi:10.1038/s41586-025–09214-5A high-resolution spectroscopic tool is demonstrated using the stochastically fluctuating intensity spikes in time and energy domains of a self-amplified spontaneous emission X‑ray free-electron laser.
- A male-essential miRNA is key for avian sex chromosome dosage compensationvon Amir Fallahshahroudi am 16. Juli 2025 um 00:00
Nature, Published online: 16 July 2025; doi:10.1038/s41586-025–09256-9Birds have evolved a unique sex chromosome dosage compensation mechanism involving the male-biased microRNA (miR-2954), which is essential for male survival by regulating the expression of dosage-sensitive Z‑linked genes.
