This is our life. Every day, the same. Every breath marked, every second accounted for. But we know there’s something more. Some of us remember, the rest simply believe. There is life beyond these walls. Life that is not like ours. #scifi by Hannah Cocks www.nature.com/articles/d41...

This is where lost things come to rest. All those fragments of life’s essentials that never reached their destination? They’re here. A microcosm of space exploration. Of hopes, dreams & precious things. Truly, all humanity is here. #scifi by @carolscheina.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/d41...
They had planned this for so long. One last desperate venture. An act to change the city forever and to end the tyranny controlling their lives. All they had to do was reach the data centre. And all the city had to do was stop them. #scifi by @erinrcullen.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Theirs is no ordinary story. Survivors. Companions. Soldiers. Friends. No — more than friends. A team. Supportive. Ready for anything. Clear proof that two minds are better than one — even if there’s only one body involved. #scifi by @clholland.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/d41...
The job was simple. When the court sends an order, freeze the corporate assets and collect the debt. But this company was different. Its accounts suggested something unusual was running the show. Something that might not be human. #scifi by Ximing Zhang www.nature.com/articles/d41...
When the letter arrived, there was no sense of surprise. The algorithm knows, after all. It just meant it was time. Time for a change. Time to move to the next stage of life. Because the algorithm knows best. Doesn’t it? #scifi by Toshiya Kamei www.nature.com/articles/d41...

For many, it’s a simple task. Kettle, pot, cup: a set of steps to give a vaguely drinkable liquid that lubricates social interaction and cognitive regeneration. But surely it’s possible to take such refreshment to a whole new level? #scifi by @gemmakchurch.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/d41...

This exhibition is like no other you have visited. It is an experience you cannot get anywhere else. It will show you things you’ve never seen. Teach you things you didn’t know you needed to know. It will literally change your mind. #scifi by @priyachand.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/d41...

This moon is not for the faint-hearted. It’s no home from home, that’s for sure. Its landscape is harsh, its atmosphere unbreathable. Nevertheless, we are here, doing what we need to do to survive. Doing what we do best. #scifi by M. E. Garber www.nature.com/articles/d41...
It’s not a problem. Honest. I have it all under control. I live in the moment now. I genuinely have the right time. I never go back. I’m not even slightly tempted. It’s not a problem. Honest. I have it all under control. #scifi by @chrisbaker1337.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/d41...
They were in this together. That much they knew. Anything else? Well, there was some uncertainty about that. But not them. They were going to get through this. They were going to find a way. If only they could remember how… #scifi by Michael Adam Robson www.nature.com/articles/d41...
The room was like any other. Not tidy, but not messy either. Not a place that would be hiding secrets. Yet one drawer held something that defied explanation. Something that captured life, love and human connection. Something real. #scifi by C. A. Russell www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Time travel. It would be wonderful, wouldn’t it? To experience the past. To revisit and explore. After all, the past can’t be changed because it’s, well, the past. So why wouldn’t you go — again and again and again? #scifi by @theultimatehuman.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/d41...
These are the most startling and intriguing discoveries we have ever made. Now, painstaking analysis and reconstruction have allowed us to piece together the story of a long-lost civilization. Take a trip with us into the past … #scifi by Mark Arnold www.nature.com/articles/d41...
“You can get very technical sieves, of course, but the one in my kitchen is perfect in that it’s robust, cheap and easy to sterilize.” New @nature.com, @scattercushion.bsky.social talks to the researchers who DIY their own lab & field kit. 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...
In the field — and in the lab — sometimes the simplest tool is best
Technology has led to unprecedented innovation, but common household items can help make research more reproducible — and accessible.

It’s a game we play. Sometimes. Because you never know who is watching. Or what they’re thinking. It‘s about life. My life. And his. We‘re alike. Similar. The same … but different. Or maybe just the same. #scifi by Paul Renault www.nature.com/articles/d41...
When they found it, they were confused. It was unusual to say the least. A rare format, hard to read. But with perseverance they translated its contents, and what they read changed their view of artificial intelligence forever. #scifi by @jordansuchow.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/d41...
This spacesuit will save your life. Packed with features it offers unprecedented life-support and protection. From taking a spacewalk to losing your ship to an explosion, this suit will keep you safe and sound. Always … and forever. #scifi by @danpeacock.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/d41...
It had seemed like a great idea. Join the teams seeking out new worlds for humanity. Explore places no human has been before. Well, maybe there’s a reason no one’s been here. Maybe this world just wants to be left alone. #scifi by Laura O’Meara www.nature.com/articles/d41...

It’s gaming as you’ve never played before. Immersive. Exciting. You will genuinely become someone else. See what they see. Do what they do. Feel what they feel. This is a gaming experience that will change your life. Literally. #scifi by John McLaughlin www.nature.com/articles/d41...
It was the kind of puzzle archaeologists relish. Using preserved data to unpick the meaning of an artefact and so further understand a culture. Fresh insights lay tantalizingly close. All they had to do was prove they were human… #scifi by Shiao Wang www.nature.com/articles/d41...

It was unusual. Special. Good things so rarely appear round here, even less just fall from the sky. So when this arrived, speed was of the essence. But now it was safely tucked away. Ready. Waiting. Offering a chance at a new life. #scifi by @wendynikel.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/d41...
