- 1From: Nature. (Vol. 488, Issue 7411) Peer-ReviewedBrain circuits process information through specialized neuronal subclasses interacting within a network. Revealing their interplay requires activating specific cells while monitoring others in a functioning circuit. Here...
- 2From: Nature. (Vol. 488, Issue 7411) Peer-ReviewedInactivation of tumour-suppressor genes by homozygous deletion is a prototypic event in the cancer genome, yet such deletions often encompass neighbouring genes. We propose that homozygous deletions in such passenger...
- 3From: Nature. (Vol. 488, Issue 7411) Peer-ReviewedThe peopling of the Americas has been the subject of extensive genetic, archaeological and linguistic research; however, central questions remain unresolved (1-5). One contentious issue is whether the settlement occurred...
- 4From: Nature. (Vol. 488, Issue 7411) Peer-ReviewedThe United States launched an effort on 9 August to clean up dioxin-contaminated soil left over from the Vietnam War at a former American airbase near Da Nang city, Vietnam. The site was one of many hotspots that still...
- 5From: Nature. (Vol. 488, Issue 7411) Peer-ReviewedLike the troubled California condors Gymnogyps californianus (Nature 486, 451; 2012), more than 80% of endangered US species are imperilled by threats that cannot be eliminated, only managed. These species are...
- 6From: Nature. (Vol. 488, Issue 7411) Peer-ReviewedPlagiarism scandals have shaken Romania this year. Former research minister loan Mang (1) and current Prime Minister Victor Ponta (2) have both been implicated, and leaders at a large medical university in Targu-Murec...
- 7From: Nature. (Vol. 488, Issue 7411) Peer-ReviewedInhibitory interneurons are essential components of the neural circuits underlying various brain functions. In the neocortex, a large diversity of GABA ([delta]-aminobutyric acid) interneurons has been identified on the...
- 8From: Nature. (Vol. 488, Issue 7411) Peer-ReviewedThe United Nations said on 9 August that it is to set up a global network of research centres, universities and institutes to help identify the best paths to sustainable development. The Sustainable Development...
- 9From: Nature. (Vol. 488, Issue 7411) Peer-ReviewedHow did the first stars form early in the history of our Galaxy and the Universe, and what were these stars like? The Big Bang produced only hydrogen, helium and some lithium, so the first stars would have contained...
- 10From: Nature. (Vol. 488, Issue 7411) Peer-ReviewedStefan Kropelin's first research trip to the eastern Sahara was nearly his last. As a graduate student in January 1982, he travelled alone to Gilf Kebir--a remote plateau in the southwest corner of Egypt--to study...
- 11From: Nature. (Vol. 488, Issue 7411) Peer-ReviewedProtein stability, assembly, localization and regulation often depend on the formation of disulphide crosslinks between cysteine side chains. Enzymes known as sulphydryl oxidases catalyse de novo disulphide formation...
- 12From: Nature. (Vol. 488, Issue 7411) Peer-ReviewedAs is the case for gardens, forests and fields, the availability of fixed nitrogen (such as nitrate and ammonia) can limit the productivity of our seas. Oceanographers are therefore interested in the relative magnitudes...
- 13From: Nature. (Vol. 488, Issue 7411) Peer-ReviewedMaja Matarte, a computer scientist and neuroscientist at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, makes robots that assist people with disabilities, children with autism and elderly people--a phenomenon...

- 15From: Nature. (Vol. 488, Issue 7411) Peer-ReviewedWater has always been crucial to combustion and hydroelectric processes, but it could become the source of power in membrane-based systems that capture energy from natural and waste waters. Two processes are emerging as...
- 16From: Nature. (Vol. 488, Issue 7411) Peer-ReviewedFailures in Russia's space launches have drawn the ire of the country's prime minister. Dmitry Medvedev said on 9 August that the botched launch of two communications satellites earlier that week was costing the country...
- 17From: Nature. (Vol. 488, Issue 7411) Peer-ReviewedAs chair of the Committee on Freedom and Responsibility in the Conduct of Science at the International Council for Science (ICSU), I was alarmed to read of the arrest in Turkey in June of Kemal Guruz...
- 18From: Nature. (Vol. 488, Issue 7411) Peer-ReviewedJohn Grotzinger folds his rangy frame into a plastic leather booth at Conrad's, an unassuming diner in Pasadena, California. It is nearly midnight, and a smattering of customers have drifted in for a late-night snack....
- 19From: Nature. (Vol. 488, Issue 7411) Peer-ReviewedModern life is intimately linked to the availability of fossil fuels, which continue to meet the world's growing energy needs even though their use drives climate change, exhausts finite reserves and contributes to...
