The temperature dependence of so-called p-wave interactions in an ultracold atomic gas has been measured for the first time.

Imaging using extreme ultraviolet scattering shows that optical pulses can generate surface excitations with spectra that were previously difficult to achieve.

A new strategy improves error correction in quantum computation by mitigating the effects of qubits escaping from their intended states.

The identification of therapeutic strategies to induce sustained antiretroviral therapy (ART)-free control of HIV infection is a major priority.1 Combination immunotherapy including HIV vaccination, immune stimulation/latency reversal, and passive transfer of broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) has shown promise in non-human primate models,2–6 but few studies have translated such approaches into people. We performed a single-arm, proof-of-concept study in ten people with HIV on ART combining the following three approaches: (1) therapeutic vaccination with an HIV/Gag conserved element (CE)-targeted DNA+IL-12 prime/MVA boost regimen followed by (2) administration of two bNAbs (10-1074, VRC07-523LS) and a toll-like receptor 9 agonist (lefitolimod) during ART suppression, followed by (3) repeat bNAb administration at the time of ART interruption (NCT04357821). Seven of the ten participants exhibited post-intervention control after stopping ART, independent of residual bNAb plasma level
