Climate change poses an urgent threat to humans and ecosystems globally; human behavior is both cause and solution. Although a majority of people believe that climate change is occurring, many fail to ...

As AI tools become increasingly prevalent in workplaces, understanding the social dynamics of AI adoption is crucial. Through four experiments with over 4,400 participants, we reveal a social penalty ...

Heterotrimeric G proteins act as molecular switches that control cellular responses to external signals. Small molecules that selectively inhibit these proteins are essential for studying their ...

Biomolecular condensates play important roles in cellular organization and function, but their internal structures remain poorly understood due to limitations in imaging techniques. This is true for ...

The distribution of organisms throughout the world has been a subject of intense exploration since the seminal work of Alfred Russel Wallace. The intertwined roles among niche specializations, ...

Dormancy is a widespread bet-hedging strategy across taxa, enabling organisms to survive natural and anthropogenic disturbances. It fundamentally alters eco-evolutionary processes, including ...

Previously described engineered living materials (ELMs) have been created with nonresponsive, biocompatible polymers by adding living cells to a precursor solution before polymerization, which cells ...

This contribution is part of the special series of Inaugural Articles by members of the National Academy of Sciences elected in 2018. In most optics textbooks, one writes the electric field describing ...
