We scored likelihoods from the model using experimental tests of protein function. We found that if a base pair has high likelihood under Evo, then that base pair is likely to preserve or improve the protein’s function. But if that…
The single-pulse sequence (upper panel) and the associated integrated pulse profile (lower panel) are shown for PSRJ1945+1211 (left), PSR J2323+1214 (middle) and PSR J1900−0134 (right), respectively.

Cave-bat fieldwork often looked like a scene from the 1995 film Outbreak.Credit: Warner Bros/AJ Pics/Alamy For years, I was a bat ecologist, fully immersed in the grind of data collection and publications. My research on cave-bat conservation took me to…
The core of a massive cluster of galaxies appears to be pumping out far more stars than it should. Now researchers at MIT and elsewhere have discovered a key ingredient within the cluster that explains the core’s prolific starburst. In…
Most people know what an ancient Egyptian mummy looks like, but they probably can’t tell you about how they smell. You don’t have to wait to get up-close-and-personal to one in a museum to find out, though. Researchers at the…
But symmetries go beyond shape. Imagine you do an experiment, then you move 10 meters to the left and do it again. The results of the experiment don’t change, because the laws of physics don’t change from place to place.…

Limited jobs in academia are deterring students from enroling in doctoral degrees in some countries.Credit: Lisa Maree Williams/Getty Numbers of people enrolling in PhD programmes have dropped in a handful of countries in the past few years, which policy specialists…
Global warming is producing a rapid loss of plant species — according to estimates, roughly 600 plant species have died out since 1750 — twice the number of animal species lost. But which species are hit hardest? And how does…
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has released an audio clip of the moment of the deadly OceanGate Titan implosion. The recording, quietly released last week through the US Defense Visual Information Distribution Service (DVIDS), is the first of…
