- 3From: Nature. (Vol. 476, Issue 7361) Peer-ReviewedPyruvate serves as a metabolic precursor for many plastid-localized biosynthetic pathways, such as those for fatty acids (1), terpenoids (2) and branched-chain amino acids (3). In spite of the importance of pyruvate...
- 4From: Nature. (Vol. 476, Issue 7361) Peer-ReviewedActive galactic nuclei, which are powered by long-term accretion onto central supermassive black holes, produce (1) relativistic jets with lifetimes of at least one million years, and the observation of the birth of...
- 5From: Nature. (Vol. 476, Issue 7361) Peer-ReviewedResearchers at computing giant IBM have unveiled experimental microchips that they say emulate the brain's architecture. Conventional chips have their computational elements in the central processing unit, with the...
- 6From: Nature. (Vol. 476, Issue 7361) Peer-ReviewedNASA is putting about US$175 million into three space missions to develop technology that might be used on future science probes, the agency announced on 22 August. A mercury-ion atomic clock to test ultraprecise timing...
- 7From: Nature. (Vol. 476, Issue 7361) Peer-ReviewedThe question of when, where and why modern humans emerged is the subject of intense debate, and antagonistic views have sprung up as a result. For many years, supporters of the multiregional hypothesis have suggested...
