Molecular discovery reveals how chromosomes are passed from one generation to the next

When a woman becomes pregnant, the outcome of that pregnancy depends on many things—including a crucial event that happened while she was still growing inside her own mother's womb. It depends on the quality of the egg cells that were already forming inside her fetal ovaries. The DNA-containing chromosomes in those cells must be cut, spliced and sorted perfectly. In males, the same process produces sperm in the testes but occurs only after puberty.

Electron microscopy reveals new method to make exotic metal alloys

Humans have been making metal alloys for thousands of years, and most of us can conjure a rough mental image of the process—it involves red-hot molten metals being mixed, poured, and shaped in a sweltering workshop or factory. This approach still works perfectly well for the traditional metals we see every day, like steel. But advanced metals with special chemical and mechanical properties, ones that scientists are investigating to use in energy technologies like long-lasting batteries and extreme-temperature engines for aerospace vehicles, need a more refined approach.

Climate change is a major economic threat.

On Thursday, 2 October, Titton will defend his Ph.D. thesis at the University of Amsterdam.

Unlocking the Secrets of Water Lily Hybridization with NpCIPK6 and NpSnRK1

Intersubgeneric hybridization barriers in water lilies have long impeded successful cross-breeding. A recent study identified the NpCIPK6-NpSnRK1 signaling module as a crucial factor in overcoming these barriers. This module interferes with abscisic acid (ABA) synthesis, which in turn modulates reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, preventing the germination of incompatible pollen. By understanding this mechanism, the study provides significant insights into plant reproductive biology, paving the way for improved breeding methods in water lilies and potentially other species with similar hybridization challenges.

How users can make their AI companions feel real, from picking personality traits to creating fan art

Just a few years ago, the idea of someone marrying their AI chatbot might have sounded like the plot of a film. Today, it is no longer just an idea. In July 2025, an article in The Guardian featured people who describe their relationships with chatbots as deeply meaningful, including a man who "married" his AI beloved "in a digital ceremony". Later that month, a piece in GQ explored how AI girlfriends are reshaping the way men express vulnerability and emotional need. These examples reflect a broader shift in how people relate to technology.
