Insulator-free topological photonic multi-lane highways

Nature, Published online: 22 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10817-9

An insulator-free topological waveguide architecture comprising four inequivalent photonic valley half-semimetals arranged in a parallel, cyclic configuration and stacked very close to one another demonstrates robust, multi-lane, unidirectional light transport with 100% spatial efficiency.

Backreaction of stimulated Hawking radiation in an optical analogue

Nature, Published online: 01 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10720-3

By using a fibre-optical analogue of the physics of black holes, theoretical and experimental evidence is presented for the process underpinning the generation of Hawking radiation and its backreaction onto the optical pump.

Analysis of 173,303 exomes and genomes in the Pakistan Genome Resource

Nature, Published online: 17 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10667-5

The Pakistan Genome Resource compiles biobank data from 173,303 individuals with high familial relatedness, broadening the catalogue of human genetic variation and establishing a population-specific genomic reference for Pakistan.
