Cusp-singularity-enhanced Coriolis effect for sensitive chip-scale gyroscopes

Nature, Published online: 20 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10565-w

By using singularity physics to enable cubic-root scaling of frequency and phase modulations induced by the Coriolis effect to enhance the performance of chip-scale Coriolis vibratory gyroscopes, substantial improvements in signal-to-noise ratio and precision are demonstrated.

De novo design of quasisymmetric two-component protein cages

Nature, Published online: 20 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10464-0

Researchers designed two-component proteins forming quasisymmetric cages via geometric frustration, enabling tunable virus-like assemblies for cargo delivery, cellular uptake and studying intracellular diffusion and protein localization.

Neural representation of action symbols in primate frontal cortex

Nature, Published online: 20 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10297-x

A drawing-like task designed to study compositional generalization identifies a specific neural population in the ventral premotor cortex in primates that encodes action symbols.

Linear RAG scanning mediates editing of Igκ variable region repertoires

Nature, Published online: 15 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10362-5

Studies explaining the secondary Igk recombination mechanism are described and Cer/Sis deletion and/or displacement is implicated as a developmental switch converting the rearrangement mechanisms from two-loop-based diffusional primary Igk into one-loop-based linear scanning secondary mechanisms.

A spatial atlas of the healthy human liver from live donors

Nature, Published online: 15 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10377-y

A human spatial atlas of gene expression in liver based on live donors shows marked porto–central zonation of hepatocytes and non-parenchymal cells, and transcriptomic changes in early steatosis.

High-precision calculation of the quark–gluon coupling from lattice QCD

Nature, Published online: 08 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10339-4

Large-scale lattice quantum chromodynamics simulations enable a model-free, highly precise determination of the strong coupling constant αs, reducing theoretical uncertainty and improving precision tests of particle physics.

High-fidelity collisional quantum gates with fermionic atoms

Nature, Published online: 08 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10356-3

A robust composite pair-exchange gate based on controlled interactions of fermionic atoms in an optical superlattice demonstrates high fidelities and long Bell-state lifetimes, marking an important step towards a fully digital fermionic quantum computer.

Population-scale repeat expansions elucidate disease risk and brain atrophy

Nature, Published online: 08 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10345-6

Decreased brain volumes and increased NfL levels can be observed earlier than disease diagnosis in short-tandem-repeat-associated neurological diseases.

Satellite imagery reveals increasing volatility in human night-time activity

Nature, Published online: 08 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10260-w

Daily satellite data reveal that Earth’s artificial lights at night are highly volatile, with frequent brightening and dimming between 2014 and 2022.
