Reinforcement learning control of quantum error correction

Nature, Published online: 08 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10759-2

By integrating reinforcement learning with quantum error correction, a quantum computer continuously self-calibrates during computation, achieving record logical error rates and enhanced resilience to drift.

Reconfigurable mmWave microchips co-integrating hBN switches on GaN

Nature, Published online: 08 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10761-8

Radio-frequency switches made from two-dimensional layered hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) were co-integrated on gallium nitride (GaN) microchips to build programmable millimetre-wave (mmWave) monolithic microwave integrated circuits suitable for 6G hardware.

Air-permeable hydrogels through viscoelastic phase separation of aerogels

Nature, Published online: 08 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10712-3

Viscoelastic phase separation is used to fabricate non-collapsible, air-rich networks in high-water-content hydrogels containing silica aerogel beads, allowing air to permeate through the material and enabling a tenfold increase in oxygen permeability over pristine hydrogels.

Harmonizing standards and resources for the medical genome

Nature, Published online: 01 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10621-5

This Perspective examines the challenges and opportunities of genomic sequencing across multiple clinical applications, including genetic therapies, and calls for the establishment of new, centralized reference standards to improve consistency and accuracy in the field of precision medicine.

A secreted endosymbiont protein essential for colonizing host cells

Nature, Published online: 01 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10711-4

SyeA was present in the Buchnera ancestor, is secreted into the host cytoplasm, is homologous to secreted effectors of bacterial pathogens and is essential for Buchnera transmission.
