Contemporary materials discovery requires intricate sequences of synthesis, formulation, and characterization that often span multiple locations with specialized expertise or instrumentation. To accelerate these workflows, we present a cloud-based ...

Germline-targeting (GT) HIV vaccine strategies are predicated on deriving broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) through multiple boost immunogens. However, as the recruitment of memory B cells (MBCs) to germinal centers (GCs) is inefficient and may be ...

Germline-targeting immunogens hold promise for initiating the induction of broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) to HIV and other pathogens. However, antibody-antigen recognition is typically dominated by heavy chain complementarity determining region ...

Sophisticated statistical mechanics approaches and human intuition have demonstrated the possibility of self-assembling complex lattices or finite-size constructs. However, attempts so far have mostly only been successful in silico and often fail in ...

The efficiency and longevity of metal-halide perovskite solar cells are typically dictated by nonradiative defect-mediated charge recombination. In this work, we demonstrate a vapor-based amino-silane passivation that reduces photovoltage deficits to ...

Reproduction includes two energy investments—the energy in the offspring and the energy expended to make them. The former is well understood, whereas the latter is unquantified but often assumed to be small. Without understanding both investments, the ...

Electronic band convergence can have a beneficial impact on thermoelectric performance, but finding the right band-converged compositions is still time-consuming. We propose a method for designing a series of compositions with simultaneous band ...

Highlights from the Science family of journals

Knowledge resources and financial capital are mainly concentrated in the Global North (1), whereas the Global South, particularly Africa, lacks both investment in research (2, 3) and researchers (4). As a result, less than 1% of the global research output is produced by African institutions (5). Moreover, the majority of scientific articles reporting research conducted in Africa include foreign coauthors (6, 7), and African researchers rarely attain prestigious first or last authorship positions (8). Intra-African cooperation is also rare (5). Although research investment is a systemic problem that will require changes by the governments and institutions in African countries, individual African researchers can still take steps to improve the quality and quantity of research conducted in Africa by Africans.

In 2023, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) implemented a new Data Management and Sharing (DMS) Policy, which aims to maximize the amount of scientific data shared (1). For all research conducted at or funded by NIH, the policy requires a DMS Plan that describes how data will be managed and shared over the life of a project, including key information such as repositories where the data will be deposited. To increase the policy’s impact, NIH should empower stakeholders by expanding the resources provided to prepare, review, and implement DMS Plans.
