What if the key to heart disease lies in a single protein? Our video follows ApoB, once impossible to map, now revealed in minutes with AI like AlphaFold. A breakthrough showing how AI is accelerating science &amp; unlocking treatments. Watch the video:

Can large language models actually help people make better health decisions? A study published in Nature Medicine suggests the answer is not yet.

Glaciers worldwide are disappearing at accelerating rates. A new study in NatureClimate predicts that annual glacier loss could peak at 2,000–4,000 glaciers per year by the middle of the century, depending on how much the planet warms.

Spaceflight is known to induce molecular, cellular, and physiological shifts in astronauts and poses various biomedical challenges to the human body. As more people venture into space, understanding the health risks associated with space exploration is key for the preparation

The Milky Way is moving through the Universe and its path is influenced by the combined gravitational pulls of nearby galaxies, such as Andromeda, the Triangulum galaxy and the Large Magellanic Cloud. Nature Astronomy Nature Portfolio

A detailed map of mouse brain cell structure and connections, offering insights into how they relate to activity in the mouse brain, is revealed in a package of papers from MICrONS consortium in nature &amp; Nature Methods: Allen Institute naturePortfolio

Octopuses, which are often considered to be solitary animals, have been observed to hunt in groups with different species of fish — including several species of goatfish and groupers — for shared prey such as molluscs and crustaceans. NatureEcoEvo Nature Portfolio

Glass rarely occurs naturally due to the specific conditions required for formation. The only suspected natural organic glass was identified in 2020 in Herculaneum, Italy, but it was not clear how this glass formed. Scientific Reports Nature Portfolio

The Schrödinger impact basin, with an estimated age of 3.81 billion years, is located in outer margin of the Moon’s 2,400km diameter South Pole–Aitken basin. The Schrödinger basin is surrounded by canyons &amp; ravines created by streaks of rocky debris Nature Communications Nature Portfolio

The island of Flores in Indonesia was home to unusually small hominins, popularly known as ‘Hobbits’, who were about a metre tall and lived around 60 thousand years ago. Other animals from this region were also known to exhibit unusual body size. Nature Portfolio

Santorini is an example of a multi-cyclic caldera (a depression formed when a volcano erupts and collapses) and its cycles are characterized by extended periods of effusive to mildly explosive volcanic activity between major caldera-forming events. Nature Geoscience Nature Portfolio

Sagittarius A* is orbited by high-velocity stars and dusty objects, which are known collectively as the S-cluster. Binary star systems (two stars gravitationally bound to one another around a common center of gravity) have been predicted Nature Communications Nature Portfolio

What happens to your brain during pregnancy? Nearly 85% of women become pregnant at least once during, and 140 million women each year become pregnant. Pregnancy is known to cause physiological changes to the body, but the corresponding neural changes are not well understood.

10 years ago, a heritage of trusted brands including Springer, Macmillan, Nature and Palgrave came together to form Springer Nature. Building on nearly two centuries of advancement in science and education has helped shape the business we are today. #BePartOfProgress #SN10

Ancient humans living in coastal areas are likely to have used whales as a resource. But, prehistoric coastal archaeological sites are fragile and subject to rising sea levels, making reconstructing past interactions between humans &amp; marine mammals a challenge. Nature Portfolio

Following our Science for a Sustainable Future event series on SDG 7 we spoke to the panellists about their key takeaways from the discussion, plus what they think we need to prioritise in order to achieve the SDGs by 2030. Watch the full video here:

The use of stones to crack nuts is a form of tool use in chimpanzees. Being more efficient at cracking nuts with stones has direct evolutionary benefits, as individuals can eat more food with less energy expenditure. Nature Human Behaviour Nature Portfolio

What could heart cockles and fibre optic cables possibly have in common? Heart cockles are bivalves that share a mutually beneficial relationship with algae, which need sunlight to photosynthesize and provide essential nutrients. Nature Portfolio Nature Communications

It has been argued that human culture rests on a unique ability to learn from others more than we could possibly learn alone in a lifetime. Two recent studies published in nature and natureHumBehav show that we share this ability with bumblebees and chimpanzees.

Meteorites that originate from different extraterrestrial bodies are an important source of knowledge for planetary science. More than 60% of the meteorites in current collections have been collected from Antarctica and it has been estimated that 300,000–850,000 meteorites
