In the Research Article “Spin-mediated promotion of Co catalysts for ammonia synthesis” (21 March 2024, p.1357), the authors found a typing error in an exponent of a constant in the Excel program used for conversion of the quadrupole mass spectrometry signal to reaction rate. The program was applied to all model systems measured in this research, and all the reaction rates [observed turnover frequency (TOF)] in the article were calculated one order of magnitude too high.

The Perspective “Multistage maturation optimizes vision” (24 May 2024, p. 848) misrepresented some of the findings of the corresponding paper by Vogelsang et al. [M. Vogelsang et al., Science 384, 907 (2024)] by stating that individuals with delayed vision were poorer at perceiving color images compared with black-and-white images. The text has been altered to accurately describe the findings of the paper, and the figure has also been changed accordingly.

Transgender, travesti, and nonbinary (trans) individuals face considerable challenges in Brazil, which have been magnified by the COVID-19 pandemic (1). As trans scientists, we urge Brazil’s government to enact affirmative action policies to support trans individuals pursuing higher education as students and employees. Before even entering university, Brazil’s trans citizens face substantial risks.

Editor’s summaryTrilobites are probably the best known denizens of the Cambrian Period. Their distinctive fossilized external forms are well recognized from an extensive fossil record spanning the early Cambrian to the Permian extinction. The vast majority of trilobite fossils display only external morphology, however, leaving much unknown about their internal morphology. El Albani et al.

Historical antecedents to modern tokens offer insight into money’s future. PHOTO: SMITH ARCHIVE/ALAMY STOCK PHOTOOpen in viewerElectronic vouchers such as food stamps, store credit, gift cards, and airline miles have become commonplace in our increasingly online world, providing issuers greater leverage over recipients and more data than other forms of modern currency. But end users have also found ways to benefit from alternative compensation schemes.

Editor’s summaryRelaxor ferroelectrics are a class of materials that have an attractive polarization response to an external electric field. This property is attractive for a wide range of potential applications. These materials have small domains of different electrical polarization that allow efficient polarization switching of the material. Zheng et al. used x-ray coherent nanodiffraction to determine how these nanodomains are organized at the scale of hundreds of nanometers.

Editor’s summaryThe transcription factor GATA3 controls the differentiation of naïve innate lymphoid cells and T cells into their type 2 effector subtypes, innate lymphoid 2 cells (ILC2s) and T helper 2 cells (TH2s), respectively, during immune responses. Szeto et al. found that another transcription factor, Mef2d, augmented the expression of GATA3 and the type-2 cytokine interleukin-13. The authors generated a mouse model that resulted in deletion of Mef2d in mature ILC2s specifically.

Editor’s summaryExtreme pressures thousands of feet deep in the ocean are sufficient to compress the conformation of the molecules that form biological membranes. Winnikoff et al. explored how comb jellies have adapted to such pressures. Sampling revealed that jellies from deep environments have abundant phospholipids that show negative curvature at low pressure but allow the formation of functional membranes at high pressure.
