Evolutionary mystery revealed by structures of a key enzyme in the synthesis of glycolipids
Nature, Published online: 26 August 2026; [doi:10.1038/d41586-026-02378-8][1]
Structures of a protein used to make crucial sugar-carrying lipids uncover a surprising reaction mechanism and a built-in brake that emerged during primate evolution.

Savannah grass growth in dry conditions is boosted by increased CO2 levels
Nature, Published online: 26 August 2026; [doi:10.1038/d41586-026-02480-x][1]
Analysis of 70 experiments and 32 years of field observations shows that increasing the amount of carbon dioxide enhances the growth of the C4 group of grasses when water is limited. These findings challenge the assumption that C4 grasses respond weakly to changes in carbon dioxide level, and reveal an overlooked driver of change across the world’s savannahs.

By engineering the statistics of light at the micrometre scale using phase-only spatial light modulators, both the state and degree of polarization become spatially programmable, enabling direct encoding of information in a high-dimensional space.
