Colombian President Gustavo Petro spoke on 28 April at a climate summit hosted by his country.Credit: Ivan Valencia/AP Photo/Alamy Climate scientists, who have warned of the dangers of global warming for decades, have found some countries to listen. This week, representatives of more than 50 nations gathered in Santa Marta, Colombia, at what was billed…
Conventional n–i–p architecture remains a robust platform for scalable perovskite photovoltaics1,2, yet its steady-state efficiency has stagnated at ~26% (ref.3), lagging behind p–i–n counterparts4. This performance gap arises from persistent non-radiative recombination at textured electron transport layer (ETL)/perovskite interfaces, yet the underlying physical origin remains unclear. Here, we uncover that these losses originate from the…
RESEARCH BRIEFINGS 30 April 2026 A regional analysis brought together data on wild-animal consumption by more than 12,000 households, to investigate trends and drivers of wild-meat use across Central Africa. The study found that consumption has increased over the past two decades, and that the increase was driven by demand from growing towns and cities….
Will Pluto become a planet again?Credit: NASA/Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory/Southwest Research Institute Many of us are old enough to have grown up with nine planets orbiting the Sun. In 2006, however, a controversial decision within the astronomy community resulted in the official list being cut to eight, removing Pluto. On Tuesday, responding to…
Conventional CAR T cells (purple and yellow spheres; artificially coloured) attack a cancer cell.Credit: Steve Gschmeissner/Science Photo Library The first clinical trial to test the tumour-fighting power of a stem-cell-like class of long-lived immune cells suggests that they could be more potent and less toxic than the standard mix of cells used in therapies for…
Yasmin Proctor-Kent 00:08 I don’t think I can sew without engaging the same part of my brain that I do science with. David Payne 00:14 This is Creativity in Science, a series brought to you by Nature Careers. Yasmin Proctor-Kent 00:19 Both endeavours, you need to be very creative, and it’s about applying theoretical knowledge…
The ‘maverick’ scientist Craig Venter — who led a race to decode the human genome, pioneered a genome-sequencing method still used today, created the first organisms with synthetic genomes and sailed around the world recording microbial diversity — died on 29 April, aged 79. Venter is most well-known for leading a commercial effort to generate…
Radiation levels in roughly 2% of the Fukushima region, about 300 square kilometres, are unsafe for people.Credit: Franck Robichon/EPA/Shutterstock Fifteen years after Japan’s worst nuclear-power accident, construction is under way in Fukushima for a research institute that will focus on robotics, agriculture, the medical uses of radiation and environmental recovery from nuclear disasters. The Fukushima…
