- 1From: Nature. (Vol. 458, Issue 7236) Peer-ReviewedMost daily encounters with chirality and chiral recognition go unnoticed, including such mundane events as putting on shoes, shaking hands with someone and admiring the helical patterns of seashells. But the concept that...
- 2From: Nature. (Vol. 458, Issue 7236) Peer-ReviewedIn what could be one of the largest ever cases of medical-research fraud, a prominent anaesthesiologist has been accused of fabricating data in at least 21 papers over 13 years. Scott Reuben fabricated all or some of...
- 3From: Nature. (Vol. 458, Issue 7236) Peer-ReviewedAngew. Chem. Int. Edn doi:10.1002/anie.200805870 (2009) 'Buckyball' molecular structures aren't confined to carbon. Uranium fullerenes that contain various numbers of uranium atoms have now joined the club, thanks to...
- 4From: Nature. (Vol. 458, Issue 7236) Peer-ReviewedMemories are encoded by a specific pattern of activity that is unique to the information being processed and stored. Memory formation is almost certainly achieved at the synaptic junctions between neurons through the...
- 5From: Nature. (Vol. 458, Issue 7236) Peer-ReviewedThe thermal evolution of planetary crust and lithosphere is largely governed by the rate of heat transfer by conduction (1-3). The governing physical properties are thermal diffusivity (κ) and conductivity (k =...
- 6From: Nature. (Vol. 458, Issue 7236) Peer-ReviewedPhysician Margaret Hamburg, once the youngest-ever health commissioner for New York City, was nominated on 14 March by President Barack Obama to head the beleaguered US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). If confirmed by...
- 7From: Nature. (Vol. 458, Issue 7236) Peer-ReviewedProc. R. Soc. B doi:10.1098/rspb.2009.0090 (2009) A flashy tail is often a way for a male bird to attract a mate, but the adornment has been assumed to make flying more arduous. To find out whether this is true,...
- 8From: Nature. (Vol. 458, Issue 7236) Peer-ReviewedMembrane proteins that transport hydrophobic compounds have important roles in multi-drug resistance (1-3) and can cause a number of diseases (4,5), underscoring the importance of protein-mediated transport of...
- 9From: Nature. (Vol. 458, Issue 7236) Peer-ReviewedThe United Nations warned as recently as last week that climate change harbours the potential for serious conflicts over water. In its World Water Development Report (1) of March 2009, it quotes UN Secretary-General Ban...
- 10From: Nature. (Vol. 458, Issue 7236) Peer-ReviewedIn a letter to the Times of March 15, Prof. Osler directs attention to the useful work which is being done by the Italian Society for the Study of Malaria, founded ten years ago, for the prevention of malarial diseases....
- 11From: Nature. (Vol. 458, Issue 7236) Peer-ReviewedOfficials at the University of California are moving to give two of the oldest-known skeletons in North America to a local Native American tribe, against the recommendation of university scientists who say the bones...
- 12From: Nature. (Vol. 458, Issue 7236) Peer-ReviewedOne of the greatest fears about climate change is that the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets could melt, bringing with them a devastating rise in sea levels. But because of their locations, the most at-risk regions are...
- 13From: Nature. (Vol. 458, Issue 7236) Peer-ReviewedOptical activity (1-3) is the result of chiral molecules interacting differently with left versus right circularly polarized light. Because of this intrinsic link to molecular structure, the determination of optical...
- 14From: Nature. (Vol. 458, Issue 7236) Peer-ReviewedThe principles of natural protein engineering are obscured by overlapping functions and complexity accumulated through natural selection and evolution. Completely artificial proteins offer a clean slate on which to...
- 15From: Nature. (Vol. 458, Issue 7236) Peer-ReviewedJohn Timmer's slide into journalism was so gradual even he can't put his finger on the point at which he stopped being a researcher. He started reading Internet websites and message boards a decade ago, while he was...
- 16From: Nature. (Vol. 458, Issue 7236) Peer-ReviewedAngiogenesis--the formation of new blood vessels--is a hallmark of cancer, and allows tumour growth. Anti-angiogenic therapy offers great promise and is often used to treat cancer, either alone or in combination with...
- 17From: Nature. (Vol. 458, Issue 7236) Peer-ReviewedGeology 37, 219-222 (2009) On Earth, volcanic 'fire fountains' burst from the ground, driven by the fizz of carbonated magma rushing up narrow-necked vents. The same spectacular displays occurred on the Moon 3...
- 18From: Nature. (Vol. 458, Issue 7236) Peer-ReviewedOver The River, A Work in Progress Fondation de l'Hermitage, Lausanne, Switzerland Until 24 May 2009. The latest idea of the artists famous for wrapping Paris's Pont Neuf and Berlin's Reichstag in plastic is to...
- 19From: Nature. (Vol. 458, Issue 7236) Peer-ReviewedThe present credit crunch is forcing everyone to save money, and chemists are no exception. A good cost-cutting measure is to perform reactions on a small scale, thereby reducing the outlay on raw materials and...
- 20From: Nature. (Vol. 458, Issue 7236) Peer-ReviewedReplying to: J. H. Geisler & J. M. Theodor Nature 458, doi:10.1038/nature07776 (2009) The analysis of Geisler and Theodor (1) confirms our main phylogenetic result (2), that raoellids are, or include, the sister group...
