A wide star–black-hole binary system from radial-velocity measurements
All stellar-mass black holes have hitherto been identified by X-rays emitted from gas that is accreting onto the black hole from a companion star. These systems are all binaries with a black-hole mass that is ...

Non-syntrophic methanogenic hydrocarbon degradation by an archaeal species
The methanogenic degradation of oil hydrocarbons can proceed through syntrophic partnerships of hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria and methanogenic archaea1–3. However, recent culture-independent studies have suggest...

Open AccessMRNIP condensates promote DNA double-strand break sensing and end resection
The rapid recognition of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) by the MRE11/RAD50/NBS1 (MRN) complex is critical for the initiation of DNA damage response and DSB end resection. Here, we show that MRN complex intera...
