Nature, Published online: 17 June 2026; doi:10.1038/d41586-026-01739-7 Reconstruction of the ancestral gene repertoire of eukaryotic cells reveals traces of a series of close, long-term interactions with diverse microorganisms, and a role of viruses in gene exchange. The findings challenge the view that eukaryotic cells evolved from a simple merger of just two organisms.
Nature, Published online: 17 June 2026; doi:10.1038/d41586-026-01703-5 A microscale gripper that can be opened and closed using light can fit into tight spaces and perform tasks linked to clinical applications.
Nature, Published online: 17 June 2026; doi:10.1038/d41586-026-01705-3 As neurons migrate to their final destinations in the forming brain, their DNA gets damaged. The brain has evolved a fix, but there can be lasting consequences if repair fails.
Nature, Published online: 17 June 2026; doi:10.1038/d41586-026-01891-0 A general-purpose artificial-intelligence vision system for use in image-sensing devices has been developed by embedding fundamentals of core computer-vision operations into a light-manipulating planar material called an optical metasurface. A prototype enables accurate, real-time perception and processing across diverse tasks, suggesting that this could be a solution for rapid, low-energy, on-device vision intelligence.
Nature, Published online: 17 June 2026; doi:10.1038/d41586-026-01702-6 A quantum computer based on trapped ions can connect any two quantum bits, reaching performance levels that conventional computers cannot match.
Nature, Published online: 17 June 2026; doi:10.1038/d41586-026-01756-6 Animals often use recent experience to guide future choices. Whole-brain imaging in larval zebrafish (Danio rerio) reveals a dedicated neural circuit that governs history-biased decisions: the thalamus maintains the most recent event as a stable pattern of neuronal activity, and the brainstem integrates recent experiences into a continuous signal that biases future action.
Nature, Published online: 17 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10666-6 A supramolecular strategy, in which uniform, dynamic nanopores are constructed, overcomes the limitations of limited structural control, mechanical fragility or demanding synthesis in nanoporous anion-conducting membranes, providing a versatile tool for molecularly engineering transport pathways.
Nature, Published online: 17 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10654-w A technique combining atomically resolved scanning tunnelling microscopy with neural-quantum-state quantum Monte Carlo simulation of disordered 2D electron Wigner solids establishes a powerful framework to enable the clear identification of two distinct defect-induced disorder regimes.
Nature, Published online: 17 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10635-z By embedding core computer vision principles into a large-scale optical metasurface, an efficient vision processing system using far fewer parameters is demonstrated to outperform many digital models and enables deployment on edge devices.
