Blood tests are now approved for Alzheimer’s: how accurate are they?

A second blood test has been been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration to assist in diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease. Will these tests change how cognitive decline is measured?

Is academic research becoming too competitive? Nature examines the data

Applications for European research grants increased in 2025. Scientists say they’re feeling the competition.

- Extreme confinement unleashes water’s hidden electrical capabilities
  
  Water has extraordinary electrical properties when trapped in tiny channels — a finding that calls for a re-think about key processes in biology, climate and nanotechnology.

- Using heat to power up molecular systems
  
  Synthetic DNA circuits and neural networks have previously been developed to process molecular information while consuming energy stored in kinetic traps. Now they have been re-engineered to take in energy from heat when the temperature increases, and to recharge themselves by restoring kinetic traps for subsequent computation.

- Yeast genomes show how large genomic variations affect trait diversity
  
  Almost-complete genomes of more than 1,000 strains of the single-celled yeast species Saccharomyces cerevisiae have been assembled and integrated with phenotypic (trait) measures of growth and of RNA and protein expression. The analysis shows how large genomic variations called structural variants disproportionately shape traits.
