- 1From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7192) Peer-ReviewedThe term 'molecular magnet' generally refers to a molecular entity containing several magnetic ions whose coupled spins generate a collective spin, S (ref. 1). Such complex multi-spin systems provide attractive targets...
- 2From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7192) Peer-ReviewedPLoS One 3, e2064 (2008) Hans Rolf of the University of Gottingen in Germany and his colleagues report that they have found evidence of stem cells in the antler 'growth zones' of fallow deer (Dama dama; pictured left)....
- 3From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7192) Peer-ReviewedA Hundred Years of Evolution. By Dr. G. S. Carter--It is fundamental to the neo-Darwinian theory that Weismann's concept of the inviolability of germ plasm by soma is correct, and that mutational changes in the gene...
- 4From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7192) Peer-ReviewedEfficient phagocytosis of apoptotic cells is crucial for tissue homeostasis and the immune response (1, 2). Rab5 is known as a key regulator of the early endocytic pathway (3) and we have recently shown that Rab5 is also...
- 5From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7192) Peer-ReviewedNASA's independent investigative arm has called for the suspension of 6 of the 19 members of a board charged with reviewing the agency's programme to replace the space shuttle. The board members in question are...
- 6From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7192) Peer-ReviewedProc. Natl Acad. Sci. USA 105, 6730-6734 (2008) A gargantuan bacterium carries tens of thousands of copies of its genome, researchers have found. One species of the cigar-shaped bacterium Epulopiscium lives in the...
- 7From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7192) Peer-ReviewedFixing Climate: What Past Climate Changes Reveal About the Current Threat --and How to Counter It by Wallace S. Broecker and Robert Kunzig Hill and Wang: 2008. 272 pp. $25 As we are alerted to the perils of...
- 8From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7192) Peer-ReviewedIn the quest for a quantum computer, no obstacle is more formidable than decoherence--the 'collapse' of an information-encoding quantum wavefunction when it couples to its surroundings. We pressingly need to understand...
- 9From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7192) Peer-ReviewedChromatin influences gene expression by restricting access of DNA binding proteins to their cognate sites in the genome (1-3). Large-scale characterization of nucleosome positioning in Saccharomyces cerevisiae has...
- 10From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7192) Peer-ReviewedLimits on the storage capacity of working memory significantly affect cognitive abilities in a wide range of domains (1), but the nature of these capacity limits has been elusive (2). Some researchers have proposed that...
- 11From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7192) Peer-ReviewedTo be told that life exists on Mars tells us but little of its nature ... Perhaps on Mars there is only one living being, a gigantic vegetable the branches or pseudopodia of which embrace the planet like the arms of an...
- 12From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7192) Peer-ReviewedThe Danish company behind the world's favourite plastic bricks is preparing to launch Lego Universe, letting players build virtual constructions online. Mark Hansen, leader of the new universe, admits it will "never...
- 13From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7192) Peer-ReviewedPlanetary lower atmospheres--the tropospheres--are clamorous. If, in addition to sound waves, one could hear buoyancy waves, which have periods measured in minutes, and vorticity waves, which have periods measured in...
- 14From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7192) Peer-ReviewedDespite two centuries of effort in characterizing environmental gradients of species richness in search of universal patterns, surprisingly few of these patterns have been widely acknowledged (1-3). Species richness...
- 15From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7192) Peer-ReviewedThe Amazon rainforest plays a crucial role in the climate system, helping to drive atmospheric circulations in the tropics by absorbing energy and recycling about half of the rainfall that falls on it. This region...
- 16From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7192) Peer-ReviewedNano Lett. doi:10.1021/nl080649i (2008) Lumps of graphite are sooty; its constituent layers of graphene, however, are transparent, a property that researchers have used in a liquid-crystal device. Kostya Novoselov at...
- 17From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7192) Peer-ReviewedGeophys. Res. Lett. doi:10.1029/ 2008GL033510 (2008) The Vatnajokull ice cap in Iceland lost about a tenth of its mass during the twentieth century. As a result, the crust around its edges has risen and this, according...
- 18From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7192) Peer-ReviewedDo we need another class of polymer? In short, yes. Conventional polymers have excellent properties as materials, but when they melt they become highly viscous--the result of entanglement of their macromolecules. High...
