Nature Communications, Published online: 11 August 2020; doi:10.1038/s41467-020-17708-1Fired brick is a universal building material, produced by thousand-year-old technology, which throughout history has seldom served any other purpose. Here, the authors show that bricks can store energy after chemical treatment to convert their iron oxide content into conducting polymer nanofibers.
Nature Communications, Published online: 11 August 2020; doi:10.1038/s41467-020-17540-7Understanding the synchronization of human networks is important in many aspects, but current research is suffering from limited control and noisy environments. Shahal et al. show a quantitative study with full control over the network connectivity, coupling strength and delay among interacting violin players.
Nature Communications, Published online: 11 August 2020; doi:10.1038/s41467-020-17847-5Epithelial cells that line the gut secrete complex glycoproteins that form a mucus layer to protect the gut wall from enteric pathogens. Here, the authors provide a comprehensive characterisation of endo-acting glycoside hydrolases expressed by mucin-degrading members of the microbiome that are able to cleave the O-glycan chains of a range of different animal and human mucins.

Nature Communications, Published online: 11 August 2020; doi:10.1038/s41467-020-17769-2Several different genetic strategies have been reported for the modification of polyketide synthases but the highly repetitive modular structure makes this difficult. Here the authors report on an adapted Cas9 reaction and Gibson assembly to edit a target region of the polyketide synthases gene in vitro.
Nature Communications, Published online: 11 August 2020; doi:10.1038/s41467-020-17868-0Space-charge-limited currents are widely used to characterize charge transport in semiconductors. Here, the authors characterize space-charge-limited electron and hole currents in metal-halide perovskites, applicable in emerging solar cells. The currents are strongly influenced by the high permittivity and ion motion.
Nature Communications, Published online: 11 August 2020; doi:10.1038/s41467-020-17875-1Floral phenotypes impact interactions between plants and pollinators. Here, the authors show that Moricandia arvensis displays discrete seasonal plasticity in floral phenotype, with large, lilac flowers attracting long-tongued bees in spring and small, rounded, white flowers attracting generalist pollinators in summer.
Nature Communications, Published online: 11 August 2020; doi:10.1038/s41467-020-17851-9Although everyday life unfolds continuously, we tend to remember past experiences as discrete events. Here, the authors show that dynamic, pupil-linked arousal states track the encoding of such episodes, as revealed by changes in memory for the temporal order and duration of recent event sequences.
Nature Communications, Published online: 11 August 2020; doi:10.1038/s41467-020-17729-wEndogenous brain states influence perception. In this manuscript the authors use human intracranial recordings to provide mechanistic insight into this process by showing that endogenous brain activity facilitates neural tuning and behavior in a stimulus and circuit specific manner.
Nature Communications, Published online: 11 August 2020; doi:10.1038/s41467-020-17802-4TMBIM6, a member of the transmembrane BI-1 motif-containing family of proteins, is overexpressed in many cancer types. Here, the authors show that TMBIM6 regulates AKT activation through mTORC2 assembly and ribosome association and identify an antagonist of TMBIM6 with anti-tumor properties.
