The cyanobacterium Acaryochloris marina can photosynthesize using far-red light at the edge of the visible spectrum. A new study uncovers the basis of this system, offering insight into how plant photosynthesis could use longer wavelengths of light. scim.ag/4fDp79w

A new study finds that both fear conditioning and antidepressant treatment stimulate new neuron growth in adult mouse brains, suggesting a possible adaptive response to stress-inducing experiences as well as elevated serotonin. scim.ag/4v59Hj7

A new analysis finds certain economic sectors in some states still contribute to substantial PM2.5 exposure inequities, despite an overall decline in the phenomenon. scim.ag/4vJPUpp

A newly designed flexible super-resolution sensing skin enables surface pressure measurement to guide safe unmanned aerial vehicle flight. scim.ag/3QbSfKA

In a new Focus, researchers identify opportunities to repair the substantial gap in scientific knowledge about women’s health—a disparity that they attribute to the fact that precision medicine still does not adequately consider female biology. scim.ag/4opQKFm

Our modeling study in @ScienceAdvances indicates that introducing an HSV-1 vaccine in 2030 could reduce oral HSV-1 incidence by 47% and genital HSV-1 incidence by 58% by 2075, preventing an estimated 28.5 million infections in the United States. Link: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Just out in @ScienceAdvances! Evolutionary biologists use punctuated equilibrium to describe systems that appear stable for long periods before undergoing rapid, transformative change. We find battery interfaces behave similarly; insights from OMICS. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
