Entanglement and electronic coherence in attosecond molecular photoionization

Nature, Published online: 01 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10230-2

Dissociative ionization of H2 molecules by the combination of a phase-locked attosecond laser pair and a few-cycle NIR laser shows that ion–photoelectron entanglement influences electronic coherence in H2+, allowing control over the degree of entanglement by varying the delay between the pulses.

Dopaminergic mechanisms of dynamical social specialization

Nature, Published online: 01 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10301-4

Longitudinal tracking of mice reveals that stable, specialized social roles emerge spontaneously within groups during a foraging task, with dopaminergic activity in the ventral tegmental area driving sex-divergent patterns of specialization.

Electric dipole moment drives the dynamics of the TNFR1 complex I signalosome

Nature, Published online: 01 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10304-1

Long-range interactions mediated by protein electric dipole moments have a role in driving the assembly and disassembly of super-signalling complex I for promoting NF-κB signalling.

Evidence of the pair-instability gap from black-hole masses

Nature, Published online: 01 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10359-0

LIGO–Virgo–KAGRA’s fourth Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog shows evidence of a clear pair-instability gap in the distribution of binary black-hole secondary masses but is absent in the larger primary masses.

Expansion of outer cortical CUX2 neurons requires adaptations for DNA repair

Nature, Published online: 01 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10290-4

The transcription factor ATF4 is shown to regulate double-stranded DNA repair within vulnerable CUX2+ upper-layer 2/3 cortical neurons, enabling their survival during development.

Investigating the reproducibility of the social and behavioural sciences

Nature, Published online: 01 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10203-5

A study of reproducibility in a stratified random sample of 600 papers published from 2009 to 2018 in 62 journals spanning the social and behavioural sciences finds higher reproducibility among more recent papers and papers from journals that require data sharing.

Stoichiometric FeTe is a superconductor

Nature, Published online: 01 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10321-0

Analysis of FeTe films grown using molecular-beam epitaxy and annealed under a Te flux post-growth shows that stoichiometric FeTe is inherently a superconductor, contradicting the long-held view that it is an antiferromagnetic metal.

Investigating the replicability of the social and behavioural sciences

Nature, Published online: 01 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-025-10078-y

A large-scale study on the replicability of claims from social and behavioural science journals reports that about half of the results replicate in the same patterns as the original study.

Angle evolution of the superconducting phase diagram in twisted bilayer WSe<sub>2</sub>

Nature, Published online: 01 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10357-2

Superconductivity in twisted bilayer WSe2 evolves smoothly with twist angle and emerges near Fermi surface reconstruction, linking previously distinct phase diagrams and clarifying its correlated origin.

Flexible ensheathment of axons enables myelination of complex CNS networks

Nature, Published online: 01 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10312-1

The rate of axon ensheathment varies within individual myelinating processes, resulting in chains of myelin sheaths connected by bridges consisting of thin cytoplasmic processes that provide flexibility for myelination of highly branched axons.

Investigating the analytical robustness of the social and behavioural sciences

Nature, Published online: 01 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-025-09844-9

When 100 social and behavioural science claims were examined, 34% of reanalyses closely matched the original results, with 74% reaching the same conclusion, revealing limited robustness of single-path analyses and the need to address analytical uncertainty.

A randomized trial of a digitally delivered, home-based neuromodulation and mindfulness intervention for pain management in older adults with knee osteoarthritis

A randomized trial of a digitally delivered, home-based neuromodulation and mindfulness intervention for pain management in older adults with knee osteoarthritis

Benralizumab versus placebo for hypereosinophilic syndrome: a randomized, placebo-controlled phase 3 trial

Nature Medicine, Published online: 31 March 2026; doi:10.1038/s41591-026-04315-8

Benralizumab (an anti-IL-5 receptor α antibody), compared to placebo, significantly reduced the risk of first flare in patients with hypereosinophilic syndrome.

Genomic history of early dogs in Europe

Nature, Published online: 25 March 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10112-7

Genome-wide analysis shows European dogs existed by 14,200 years ago, were already genetically distinct, received less Neolithic Southwest Asian admixture than humans did and contributed substantially to later European dogs.
