- 7From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7198) Peer-ReviewedVocal communication involves both speaking and hearing, often taking place concurrently. Vocal production, including human speech and animal vocalization, poses a number of unique challenges for the auditory system. It...
- 8From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7198) Peer-ReviewedThe mass and chemical composition of a star are the primary determinants of its basic physical properties--radius, temperature and luminosity--and how those properties evolve with time (1). Accordingly, two stars born at...
- 9From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7198) Peer-ReviewedQuantum physics has come a long way since its theoretical beginnings in the early twentieth century. Techniques to manipulate light and matter have become increasingly sophisticated, facilitating fundamental studies of...
- 10From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7198) Peer-ReviewedLa Loi des petits Nombres. By M. Charles Henry. The question discussed by the author may be given in his own words:-- "Est-il possible de prevoir une loi de sequence plus ou moins fragmentaire dans les phenomenes...
