- 3From: Nature. (Vol. 454, Issue 7202) Peer-ReviewedPhys. Rev. Lett. 101, 013001 (2008) In order to watch chemical reactions as they happen, researchers need the constituent molecules lined up just right. Lasers can help to achieve this, but usually disturb the reaction...
- 4From: Nature. (Vol. 454, Issue 7202) Peer-ReviewedObserving the individual building blocks of matter is one of the primary goals of microscopy. The invention of the scanning tunnelling microscope (1) revolutionized experimental surface science in that atomic-scale...
- 5From: Nature. (Vol. 454, Issue 7202) Peer-ReviewedThis map of the average power of the world's winds is derived from 8 years of data from a space-based radar called a scatterometer. The radar measures the scatter in microwaves bouncing off the sea into orbit; the wave...
- 6From: Nature. (Vol. 454, Issue 7202) Peer-ReviewedIt is a mild, sunny day in June. Off the coast of far northern Canada, the icebreaker Amundsen is having little trouble ploughing through the land-fast ice. The sky is azure--the ice beneath it is rapidly melting and...
- 7From: Nature. (Vol. 454, Issue 7202) Peer-ReviewedThe recent discovery of [CD4.sup.+] T cells characterized by secretion of interleukin (IL)-17 ([T.sub.H]17 cells) and the naturally occurring regulatory [FOXP3.sup.+] CD4 T cell ([nT.sub.reg]) has had a major impact on...
- 8From: Nature. (Vol. 454, Issue 7202) Peer-ReviewedVisualizing individual atoms is hard, not least because free atoms move rapidly at room temperature. The problem is finding a way to keep them motionless for long enough to observe them, without the resulting image being...

- 11From: Nature. (Vol. 454, Issue 7202) Peer-ReviewedShe arrives in the delivery room of a British hospital just before midnight, weighing 3.4 kilograms--a routine birth for a baby who is anything but. Her parents keep a copy of the newspaper to mark her birthday: 25 July...
- 12From: Nature. (Vol. 454, Issue 7202) Peer-ReviewedThe origin and growth of magnetic fields in galaxies is still something of an enigma (1). It is generally assumed that seed fields are amplified over time through the dynamo effect (2-5), but there are few constraints on...
- 13From: Nature. (Vol. 454, Issue 7202) Peer-ReviewedPhyllosilicates, a class of hydrous mineral first definitively identified on Mars by the OMEGA (Observatoire pour la Mineralogie, L'Eau, les Glaces et l'Activitie) instrument (1,2), preserve a record of the interaction...
- 14From: Nature. (Vol. 454, Issue 7202) Peer-ReviewedImages of the smallest atom--hydrogen--have been obtained with a transmission electron microscope (TEM), not through building a better microscope, but by developing an almost invisible means of supporting samples. The...
- 15From: Nature. (Vol. 454, Issue 7202) Peer-ReviewedPharmaceutical giants Merck, Pfizer and Eli Lilly have joined forces in a start-up company that they hope will stimulate drug discovery. Boston-based Enlight Biosciences will develop lab technologies to the...
- 16From: Nature. (Vol. 454, Issue 7202) Peer-ReviewedThe leading US government funder of autism research is drawing fire over its proposal to run a randomized clinical trial of a treatment widely viewed by experts to be useless and potentially harmful, but that is broadly...
- 17From: Nature. (Vol. 454, Issue 7202) Peer-ReviewedThe cell cycle is a complex but orderly sequence of events that culminates in the production of two cells from one. In eukaryotes, the cycle is divided into four phases: cell growth in G1 phase, DNA replication in S...
- 18From: Nature. (Vol. 454, Issue 7202) Peer-ReviewedGeophys. Res. Lett. doi:10.1029/2008GL034271 (2008) The contents of a sediment trap suspended more than 3,000 metres below the sea surface may force a reassessment of the Arctic Ocean's carbon cycle. Jeomshik Hwang...
- 19From: Nature. (Vol. 454, Issue 7202) Peer-ReviewedAt the onset of anaphase, sister-chromatid cohesion is dissolved abruptly and irreversibly, ensuring that all chromosome pairs disjoin almost simultaneously. The regulatory mechanisms that generate this switch-like...
