In the Big Data era, a change of paradigm in the use of molecular dynamics is required. Trajectories should be stored under FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable) requirements to favor its reuse by the community under an open science paradigm. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature America, Inc. 2025.

A search for a light charged Higgs boson produced in decays of the top quark, t→H±b with H±→cs, is presented. This search targets the production of top-quark pairs tt¯→WbH±b, with W→ℓν (ℓ=e,μ), resulting in a lepton-plus-jets final state characterised by an isolated electron or muon and at least four jets. The search exploits b-quark and c-quark identification techniques as well as multivariate me

Frequency-dependent diffusion–relaxation distribution MRI provides information beyond the traditional voxel-averaged metric that may better characterize the microstructural features of biological tissue. Frequency-dependent multidimensional (ωMD) MRI reproducibility has been established in clinical settings, but has yet to be thoroughly evaluated under preclinical conditions, where superior

Introduction The Problematic Experience of Therapy Scale (PETS) identifies barriers to home-based exercise programs but has not been validated in hand therapy populations. This study aimed to translate the extended PETS into Swedish and evaluate its content and construct validity in patients undergoing early sensory relearning following peripheral nerve injury.Methods The PETS was translated into

Background SLE is a systemic autoimmune disease with a large number of common risk gene variants, but several rare gene variants can cause monogenic SLE. The relationship between common and rare variants in SLE is unclear. We therefore investigated the occurrence of rare deleterious variants in patients with childhood-onset SLE (cSLE) and adult-onset SLE (aSLE) and compared the frequency of these

Rising populations are placing significant strain on traditional waste management, prompting the need for circular systems in urban projects to recycle valuable nutrients from wastewater. Introducing a biorefinery framework, microalgae cultivation on digestate effluents produces pigments for natural dyes, reducing nutrient release and offering eco-friendly alternatives to synthetic products. Succe

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common heart rhythm abnormality and is a leading cause of heart failure and stroke. This large-scale meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies increased the power to detect single-nucleotide variant associations and found more than 350 AF-associated genetic loci. We identified candidate genes related to muscle contractility, cardiac muscle development an

The aim of this work is to redefine the concept of sensorimotor augmentation, extending it from wearable devices to supernumerary robotic upper limbs that are grounded and can be placed out of the physiological peripersonal space of the user. While the wearability of the supernumerary robotic limb (SRL) is not mandatory, the human-robot connection must be maintained through a wearable interface th

Background: Parathyroidectomy is typically curative for primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) and may lead to health-related quality of life (HRQL) improvements. We aim to evaluate general and disease-specific HRQL changes in patients undergoing surgery for PHPT from their perspective. Methods: Patients completed three patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) surveys before and after surgery: (1) Worr

In ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions at the LHC, each nucleus acts a sources of high-energy real photons that can scatter off the opposing nucleus in ultraperipheral photonuclear ((Formula presented)) collisions. Hard scattering processes initiated by the photons in such collisions provide a novel method for probing nuclear parton distributions in a kinematic region not easily accessible to o

Purpose: To analyse the frequency and type of coexisting systemic disorders in children operated on for cataract in Sweden. Methods: Data were retrieved from the Swedish National Pediatric Cataract Register (PECARE) for children operated between January 1, 2007, and December 31, 2023 (n = 975), including follow-ups at age 1, 2, 5 and 10. Cataracts due to uveitis, trauma or radiation, and lens extr

John Maynard Keynes was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in the 1920s for writing “The Economic Consequences of the Peace”. Yet, despite being highly ranked by the advisor of the Nobel Committee and placed on the shortlist, he did not win. This column brings out previously unused archival material from the Nobel Committee in Oslo to explore why. The Committee tended to withhold the Prize when c

Most cutaneous malignant melanomas (CMMs) are thin (≤1.0 mm, stage T1) with an expected 10-year melanoma-specific survival of 93%–97%. The incidence of CMM is higher in groups with high socioeconomic status (SES). We aimed to assess overall survival (OS) and detailed characteristics in individuals with thin CMM as compared to the general population matched on age, sex, and county of residence. Mat
