TM184C is a GPCR-like regulator of intercellular exchange and autophagy

Nature, Published online: 09 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10993-8

TM184C—an ancient G-protein-coupled receptor-like superdark protein involved in regulation of autophagy, intercellular connectivity and material exchange—underscores the promise of exploring the understudied human proteome and beyond.

Controlled solid-state crystallization with formamidinium acetate for fully vacuum-deposited perovskite solar cells

Nature Energy, Published online: 14 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41560-026-02093-8

Vacuum-processed perovskite solar cells show promise, yet their efficiency remains limited. Xu et al. use formamidinium acetate to promote perovskite crystallization, achieving a 25.5% power conversion efficiency and 1,000 h operational stability.

West versus Central Tibet exhumation difference influenced by Indian slab underthrusting

Nature Geoscience, Published online: 10 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41561-026-02043-9

The extent of Indian continental underthrusting beneath Western Tibet influences its moderate-to-rapid exhumation, relative to slow exhumation in Central Tibet, according to thermochronological data and exhumation history modelling.

Optical fibre gripper for high-performance 3D micromanipulation

Nature, Published online: 17 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10673-7

A miniature three-dimensional optical fibre gripper enables powerful, precise micromanipulation of particles and single cells in confined spaces, bridging the gap between optical and mechanical tweezers.
