- 1From: Nature. (Vol. 465, Issue 7295) Peer-ReviewedDeepak Pental, the vice-chancellor of the University of Delhi, apologizes for a radioactive accident in which his institution sold off a y-ray source for scrap metal. One worker has died and six have been ill since...
- 2From: Nature. (Vol. 465, Issue 7295) Peer-ReviewedFifty years ago, the combined oral contraceptive pill was approved in the United States. In America and the Pill (Basic Books, 2010), Elaine Tyler May tells the story of a drug "central to some of the most profound...
- 3From: Nature. (Vol. 465, Issue 7295) Peer-ReviewedNature's high-performance polymer, spider silk, consists of specific proteins, spidroins, with repetitive segments flanked by conserved non-repetitive domains (1,2). Spidroins are stored as a highly concentrated fluid...
- 4From: Nature. (Vol. 465, Issue 7295) Peer-ReviewedThirty years ago this week, Mount St Helens in Washington state was swollen to bursting point. The northern flank of the mountain was bulging outward at a rate of more than one metre per day as magma built up inside. By...
- 5From: Nature. (Vol. 465, Issue 7295) Peer-ReviewedPolitical influence: The US biomedical community will lose a powerful supporter with the departure of David Obey (Democrat, Wisconsin) from the House of Representatives after more than four decades of service. On 5 May,...
- 6From: Nature. (Vol. 465, Issue 7295) Peer-ReviewedTo meet the great world-wide interest in nuclear science and its applications, it has often been suggested that regional centres should be created ... The first of such centres to be established is the CENTO ......
- 7From: Nature. (Vol. 465, Issue 7295) Peer-ReviewedJ. Exp. Biol. doi:10.1242/jeb.035626 (2010) When kept in the same hives, two related species of honeybee can cooperate to build a comb, despite producing different wax chemicals and comb-cell sizes. Sarah Radloff...
- 8From: Nature. (Vol. 465, Issue 7295) Peer-ReviewedTraditional robots (1) rely for their function on computing, to store internal representations of their goals and environment and to coordinate sensing and any actuation of components required in response. Moving...
- 9From: Nature. (Vol. 465, Issue 7295) Peer-ReviewedMol. Ecol. doi:10.1111/j.1365-294X.2010.04647.x (2010) Mobile marine animals such as dolphins seem unlikely to form subpopulations, as there are no obvious physical barriers between them. Nevertheless, cetaceans do...
- 10From: Nature. (Vol. 465, Issue 7295) Peer-ReviewedWe used genome-wide sequencing methods to study stimulus-dependent enhancer function in mouse cortical neurons. We identified ~12,000 neuronal activity-regulated enhancers that are bound by the general transcriptional...
- 11From: Nature. (Vol. 465, Issue 7295) Peer-ReviewedManipulated islands reveal secrets of lizard adaptation. go.nature.com/MVTNxc...
- 12From: Nature. (Vol. 465, Issue 7295) Peer-ReviewedAdventures Among Ants: A Global Safari with a Cast of Trillions by Mark W. Moffett University of California Press: 2010. 288 pp. $29.95, 20.95 [pounds sterling] Ant expert and photographer Mark Moffett...
- 13From: Nature. (Vol. 465, Issue 7295) Peer-ReviewedEnhancers are well known for their role in activating the transcription of target genes from a distance and, during animal development, they act in a time- and tissue-dependent way (1). It is also becoming increasingly...
- 14From: Nature. (Vol. 465, Issue 7295) Peer-ReviewedPhysicist David Goodstein asks why some scientists are driven to misrepresent results. His book On Fact and Fraud (Princeton Univ. Press, 2010) uses well-known cases to look at how science is conducted and to remind us...
- 15From: Nature. (Vol. 465, Issue 7295) Peer-ReviewedA huge variety of proteins are able to form fibrillar structures (1), especially at high protein concentrations. Hence, it is surprising that spider silk proteins can be stored in a soluble form at high concentrations...
- 16From: Nature. (Vol. 465, Issue 7295) Peer-ReviewedWhat makes two individuals different? Biologists now know that the genome sequence holds only a small part of the answer, and that key elements of development and disease are controlled by the epigenome--a set of...
- 17From: Nature. (Vol. 465, Issue 7295) Peer-ReviewedLaser upgrade: The world's biggest free-electron laser is going to get bigger. The SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in Menlo Park, California, announced on 5 May that it had received initial approval from the US...
- 18From: Nature. (Vol. 465, Issue 7295) Peer-ReviewedInteractions lie at the heart of correlated many-body quantum phases (1-3). Typically, the interactions between microscopic particles are described as two-body interactions. However, it has been shown that higher-order...
- 19From: Nature. (Vol. 465, Issue 7295) Peer-ReviewedThe worlds of ancient and modern DNA exploration have collided in spectacular fashion in the past few months. Last week saw the publication of a long-awaited draft genome of the Neanderthal, an archaic hominin from...
- 20From: Nature. (Vol. 465, Issue 7295) Peer-ReviewedOceanographer and underwater explorer Sylvia Earle served as chief scientist of the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration during 1990-92, and is a US national committee member of the Census of Marine Life,...
