This week in Nature & Science: a 5,500-year-old plague, a tumbling asteroid, and an earthquake that bounced off Earth's core

Issue #6 of the weekly Nature & Science digest, covering both journals' June 18, 2026 issues. Five papers span paleogenomics (5,500-year-old *Y. pestis* outbreak in Siberian hunter-gatherers — Nature cover, OA), planetary science (NASA Lucy's close-up of tumbling bilobed asteroid Donaldjohanson), geophysics (2011 Tohoku ScS wave that bounced off Earth's core and triggered country-wide eastward slip), paleontology (stem tetrapod fossils overturning the tadpole-origin hypothesis), and materials science (perovskite solar cells at 27.41% certified efficiency with 258-day outdoor stability).

This week in Nature & Science: underground neutrinos, a snapping plant mystery solved, 5-million-year whale bones, and an Alaskan near-miss

A cross-disciplinary digest of the five highest-attention papers from Nature Vol. 654 Issue 8118 and Science Vol. 392 Issue 6803, both published June 10–11, 2026. #1: JUNO measures two solar neutrino oscillation parameters from only 59.1 days of data — 1.6× more precisely than all previous experiments combined, sharpening a persistent discrepancy that may point beyond the Standard Model. #2: Venus flytraps close by rapid cell-wall softening, not water transport; a near-miss Alaska megatsunami (481 m runup) generated by glacial-retreat-triggered rock failure rounds out a cross-disciplinary issue spanning particle physics, plant biomechanics, paleontology, quantum computing, and geohazards.
