Structures and inhibition of the Crimean–Congo haemorrhagic fever virus polymerase

Nature, Published online: 22 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10701-6

Structural studies of Crimean–Congo haemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) polymerase reveal the structural basis of CCHFV RNA synthesis and highlight druggable sites for designing both nucleoside antivirals and non-nucleoside antivirals.

Non-epitaxial perovskite polariton laser diode operating under direct current

Nature, Published online: 22 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10824-w

By integrating a solution-grown perovskite microplate with chemically inert single-walled carbon nanotube electrodes and embedding them into an optical microcavity, the new microdevices can achieve polariton lasing under a constant direct current at 8 K.

Planetary-mass exosatellite detected around the substellar companion of a star

Nature, Published online: 22 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10751-w

Radial velocity measurements provide evidence for a Jupiter-mass exosatellite orbiting the brown dwarf companion CD-35 2722 B, a promising detection of an exomoon-like object.

Tertiary lymphoid structures harbour stem-like tumour-specific T cells

Nature, Published online: 22 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10808-w

Renal cell carcinoma tumours containing tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) are enriched for exhausted CD8+ T cells, including tumour-specific clonotypes with stem-like progenitor features and reduced terminal exhaustion.

A vector-based strategy for olfactory navigation in <i>Drosophila</i>

Nature, Published online: 22 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10827-7

Using a virtual reality system, experiments in Drosophila show that flies use memory mechanisms to navigate along the boundary of an odour plume and track the source of a smell.

A workflow using artificial intelligence-redesigned starting points to evolve enzymes with improved properties compared with those evolved from natural proteins is established.

The planktonic microbiome of the Great Barrier Reef

Nature, Published online: 22 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10778-z

The Great Barrier Reef Microbial Genomes Database compiles prokaryotic, viral and eukaryotic genomes from seawater collected from the Great Barrier Reef, providing a rich resource for the study of marine microbial communities and ecosystem research and management.

A global molecular code for birth order and neuronal identity in <i>Drosophila</i>

Nature, Published online: 22 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10797-w

A high-resolution developmental transcriptional atlas of the Drosophila melanogaster nerve cord identifies a shared transcriptional code that records neuronal birth order and organizes neuronal diversity.

Imaging of nanoscale polar textures in quantum paraelectric SrTiO<sub>3</sub>

Nature, Published online: 22 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10823-x

Cryo-STEM reveals that SrTiO3 forms periodic polar nanodomains below 105 K, but these fragment below 40 K, linking quantum paraelectricity to nanoscale polar ordering and disordering.
