Science is filled with imagined realities – beliefs that will turn out to be untrue – and the idea that interstellar objects are simply rocks could be one of them, writes physicist Avi Loeb

Nature Communications, Published online: 10 February 2023; doi:10.1038/s41467-023-36500-5 This study shows that climate change is expected to result in a 41% increase in the frequency of lightning worldwide. This increase has the potential to amplify the risk of lightning-induced wildfires.

Nature Communications, Published online: 10 February 2023; doi:10.1038/s41467-023-35943-0 In England, SARS-CoV-2 vaccines were initially targeted to older, more vulnerable people; first vaccine doses were prioritised over second doses, and an interval of twelve weeks was used between doses. Here, the authors assess the impacts of these policy decisions by simulating counterfactual scenarios.

Nature Communications, Published online: 10 February 2023; doi:10.1038/s41467-023-36467-3 Here the authors investigated the direct collaboration between ubiquitinated histone H2B (ubH2B) with FACT at the nucleosome level. They found ubH2B enhances FACT's chaperone property, recruits FACT to form a stable altered nucleosome state, and provides a key platform for transcription.

Nature Communications, Published online: 10 February 2023; doi:10.1038/s41467-023-36422-2 Living snakes replace their teeth without external resorption. Here, the authors use histology to show that odontoclasts resorb dentine internally and investigate this mechanism in fossil snakes.

Deadly wildfires in southern Chile, a lantern festival in Taiwan, an extreme low tide in Venice, a freight train derailment in Ohio, a volcanic eruption in Indonesia, a unique dining experience in China, scenes of earthquake devastation in Turkey, freezing temperatures in the American northeast, and much more

It's only the second time we've seen something like this.

I'm thinking of a setting in the future where humanity has terraformed the inside of massive magma tubes on the moon, creating massive cities in these sealed environments. The problem I'm trying to figure out is how we can use genetic engineering to make us more comfortable in such a low gravity environment. The first idea I had was lowering their center of gravity with much shorter legs and bein

Researchers have calculated the carbon footprint for the full life cycle of fertilizers, which are responsible for approximately 5% of total greenhouse gas emissions—the first time this has been accurately quantified—and found that carbon emissions could be reduced to one-fifth of current levels by 2050.

A certain amount of noise is inherent in any quantum system. For instance, when researchers want to read information from a quantum computer, which harnesses quantum mechanical phenomena to solve certain problems too complex for classical computers, the same quantum mechanics also imparts a minimum level of unavoidable error that limits the accuracy of the measurements.

New Zealand, where agriculture is one of the largest contributors to climate change, is proposing a tax on cow burps. The reason seems simple enough: Cows release methane, a potent greenhouse gas, and New Zealand has a goal of reaching net-zero emissions by midcentury. Right now, the country's effects on climate change come roughly equally from carbon dioxide and methane.

In the aftermath of the deadly earthquake that struck Turkey and Syria on Feb. 6, many people trapped under the rubble turned to social media pleading to be rescued.
