Nature Communications, Published online: 16 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41467-026-77578-x DNA replication must coordinate continuous copying of one strand with stepwise copying of the other as fragments that are processed and joined. Here, the authors rebuild human and SV40 replication systems and reveal how priming, enzyme recycling, and fragment maturation synchronize both strands.

In the struggling Colorado River basin, where water is scarce, the White House has signaled its priorities for how to use the remaining gallons. Even as scientifically-determined thresholds have been met for releasing water from Glen Canyon Dam for ecological and recreational benefits in Grand Canyon, the Trump administration has decided against those actions in […] The post At Glen Canyon Dam, T…

The EU’s proposal for Canadian associate membership raises questions about accession, trade, and mobility. Explore what EU law permits, how the arrangement could build on CETA, and why it would not automatically grant Canada membership rights.

The mammalian gut microbiome is teeming with a delicate balance of bacteria and the viruses that keep them in check, called bacteriophages, or phages. Each bacterial species usually has its own set of phage partners. When bad bacteria enter this ecosystem, there are typically no phages present, allowing them to cause mayhem. By the time the host is sick, it is too late for phages; they'll simply …

Organizations are deploying autonomous AI systems that execute API calls, optimize production configurations, and analyze telemetry across hybrid cloud environments. At the same time, attacks are expanding from direct prompts to indirect prompt injection and AI supply chain compromises, blurring security boundaries. Mandiant’s latest AI Risk and Resilience report, which draws on observations from…

A Linux privilege escalation vulnerability (CVE-2026-87886) affecting Acronis’ backup extensions for cPanel, WebHost Manager (WHM), and Plesk, is being leveraged by attackers, the backup and recovery company warns. “Exploitation of this vulnerability has been detected in the wild in limited, targeted attacks against Acronis Backup plugin for cPanel & WHM deployments,” Acronis said in the security…

Reduced Capability (RedCap) is a 5G New Radio (NR) technology standardized by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). It closes the gap between full-capability 5G NR and LTE-based IoT technologies such as LTE Cat-1 and LTE-M. Engineers researching RedCap for IoT product development may encounter three related terms: Enhanced RedCap (eRedCap), feRedCap, and efeRedCap. Of […] The post What a…

PostgreSQL 19 removes SQL/PGQ, but REPACK CONCURRENTLY, Spinnaker's migration tools, Vacuum monitoring, and AlloyDB Omni orchestrator bring new capabilities for DBAs.

Nature Cell Biology, Published online: 16 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41556-026-02077-6 During development and regeneration, tissues undergo large-scale remodelling and it remains unclear how such morphogenetic movements influence immune cell guidance. A study by Le et al. shows that ectodermal tissue flow affects the movement of embryonic myeloid cells during the early stages of Xenopus develop…

Researchers have identified a new plant species in western Thailand whose unusual appearance inspired the dramatic name Thismia daemona, or the “devil flower.” A nearly black flower with horn-like projections and flashes of reddish orange has been discovered beneath leaf litter in a mountain forest in western Thailand. The plant cannot photosynthesize, spends most of [...]

_Critical Care_. forthcomingRefusal to offer cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) can provoke conflict and distress, even when the medical team judges it to be physiologically futile (PF). Some authors have argued that a time-limited trial of CPR— where it is performed to standard protocol but stopped after a short interval—represents an ethically tolerable compromise. Proponents argue that this a…
