The UN’s first water conference in decades put the spotlight on a vital and troubled resource. But to widen access and resolve disputes, one thing is needed above all: data.

Some say the analysis supports the hypothesis that the virus that causes COVID-19 spilled over from an animal — but falls short of definitive proof.

Researchers are excited about the AI — but many are frustrated that its underlying engineering is cloaked in secrecy.

Simulations show that the melting of Antarctic ice reduces the production of deep water that stores heat at the bottom of the Southern Ocean. Comprehensive models could reveal whether the trend will persist.

There is debate about how epigenetic marks, such as methyl groups on DNA, can be passed down from parent to offspring. A mouse model involving targeted DNA methylation will better equip researchers to study this process.

Light-sensitive proteins called rhodopsins in the vertebrate eye initiate the cellular processes of vision. Leading-edge crystallography experiments have revealed the molecular mechanism by which light activates these proteins.

Proteins have been developed that emit flashes of light in response to influxes of calcium ions into cells on millisecond timescales. Two sets of scientists discuss the legacy and future of these proteins.

A screen of mouse stem cells that exploits their propensity to gain or lose chromosomes in cell culture has been used to convert male XY to female XX cells. Subsequent differentiation generates functional eggs and live offspring.

The size of the space taken up by a proton’s mass has been measured, and it’s much smaller than previously thought. The result is a key step towards understanding the complex structure of this fundamental building block.
