- 1From: Nature. (Vol. 469, Issue 7329) Peer-ReviewedMarine geologist Liviu Giosan has lived through history. As a student in Romania he took part in the December 1989 demonstrations that brought down the communist government. Just months earlier, no one in the deeply...
- 2From: Nature. (Vol. 469, Issue 7329) Peer-ReviewedWe have noticed a shift in the way funding agencies and journal editors are viewing observational science. It seems that the value of traditional surveys and exploration is being undermined--particularly in the field of...
- 3From: Nature. (Vol. 469, Issue 7329) Peer-ReviewedFacing a host of threats including fishery devastation and the destruction of coral reefs, conservationists have increasingly pinned their hopes on marine protected areas (MPAs). More than 5,000 of these sanctuaries,...
- 4From: Nature. (Vol. 469, Issue 7329) Peer-ReviewedG protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) exhibit a spectrum of functional behaviours in response to natural and synthetic ligands. Recent crystal structures provide insights into inactive states of several GPCRs. Efforts to...
- 5From: Nature. (Vol. 469, Issue 7329) Peer-ReviewedComputation underlies the organization of cells into higher-order structures, for example during development or the spatial association of bacteria in a biofilm (1-3). Each cell performs a simple computational...
- 6From: Nature. (Vol. 469, Issue 7329) Peer-ReviewedAs Earth's climate changes, many butterfly species are emerging--from cocoons or from hiding--earlier in spring. Researchers have identified traits in UK butterflies that predict the largest shifts seen in emergence...
- 7From: Nature. (Vol. 469, Issue 7329) Peer-ReviewedThe opening of back-arc basins behind subduction zones progresses from initial rifting near the volcanic arc to seafloor spreading (1). During this process, the spreading ridge and the volcanic arc separate and lavas...
- 8From: Nature. (Vol. 469, Issue 7329) Peer-ReviewedA mix of pesticides, fertilizers and other flood run-off could threaten the biodiversity of Australia's Great Barrier Reef. Heavy rains since late December have resulted in flooding in the state of Queensland, and...
- 9From: Nature. (Vol. 469, Issue 7329) Peer-ReviewedProteins in cells are responsible for the vast majority of biological functions. Because life evolved in water, protein molecules are uniquely adapted to use their aqueous environments to facilitate their functions (1)....
- 10From: Nature. (Vol. 469, Issue 7329) Peer-ReviewedKepler, the space telescope considered most likely over the next few years to identify an Earth-like planet orbiting another star, has struck solid ground, mission scientists say. Most of the hundreds of extrasolar...
- 11From: Nature. (Vol. 469, Issue 7329) Peer-ReviewedHealing of the eye's retina after injury is aided by immune cells that dampen local inflammation and boost the retina's capacity for repair. Michal Schwartz at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel,...
- 12From: Nature. (Vol. 469, Issue 7329) Peer-ReviewedThe observed number counts of high-redshift galaxy candidates (1-8) have been used to build up a statistical description of star-forming activity at redshift z [??] 7, when galaxies reionized the Universe (1,2,9,10)....
- 13From: Nature. (Vol. 469, Issue 7329) Peer-ReviewedComputation forms the foundation of electronic devices that pervade our daily lives. Many of these devices run on digital circuits assembled from logic gates. All logic gates use an unambiguous rule to convert inputs of...
- 14From: Nature. (Vol. 469, Issue 7329) Peer-ReviewedThe Great White Bear: A Natural and Unnatural History of the Polar Bear Kieran Mulvaney HOUGHTON MIFFLIN HARCOURT 272 pp. $26 (2011) Polar bears are as fascinating as they are striking. Born in snowdrifts, they...
- 15From: Nature. (Vol. 469, Issue 7329) Peer-ReviewedIn 1882, the US conservationist George Bird Grinnell wrote about humans invading natural habitats as "the tide of immigration" that was then sweeping across the American West. "There is one spot left, a single rock...
- 16From: Nature. (Vol. 469, Issue 7329) Peer-ReviewedThe UK government has welcomed a call for simpler medical-research regulations. An 11 January report from the Academy of Medical Sciences in London recommends the creation of a new health-research agency to offer a...
- 17From: Nature. (Vol. 469, Issue 7329) Peer-ReviewedThe Arctic and Antarctic share more than frosty temperatures. Both are experiencing rapid environmental change, and provide sensitive bellwethers for the effects of global warming. Yet scientists studying the ends of...
- 18From: Nature. (Vol. 469, Issue 7329) Peer-ReviewedTo step into the human brain is like being plunged into a pulsating bowl of psychedelic spaghetti. At least, that is the sensation visitors experience on entering the Brain exhibition at the American Museum of Natural...
- 19From: Nature. (Vol. 469, Issue 7329) Peer-ReviewedHe looks up and catches its eye. Eye? Silly! Visual circuitry. Optical sensors. But he's sure, he's sure it looked right at him. He eats his perfectly boiled egg. Can't stop himself from saying: "Thank you, this is just...
- 20From: Nature. (Vol. 469, Issue 7329) Peer-ReviewedDuring mitosis, adherent animal cells undergo a drastic shape change, from essentially flat to round (1-3). Mitotic cell rounding is thought to facilitate organization within the mitotic cell and be necessary for the...
