Nature Reviews Methods Primers

This month, we are celebrating 5 years of Nature Reviews Methods Primers with a variety of Comments and Q&As that address recent advancements in methods!

Waves are everywhere around us. From the sub-nano scale of atoms to the vastness of the universe, signals are superpositions of waves. This week's #Primer unveils the intricacies of wave #AnalysisTools. 📖👉go.nature.com/44dgNY7

With the #PrimeView we decided to highlight the major experimental components of the technique. 👀👉 doi.org/10.1038/s43586-025-0…
