Gorshkov, P.C. Maurer, G. Giedke, J.I. Cirac and M.D. Lukin | | | Electron spins at nitrogen-vacancy-centres in diamond are thought to be the most promising building blocks for practical realizations of quantum computers. Yao et al. present a scalable architecture for a quantum information processor based on such vacancy centres that operates at room temperature. | | | 24 Apr | Nat Commun 3:800 doi:10.1038/ncomms1788 (2012) | | | Physical sciences Atomic and molecular physics | | | | Abstract | Full Text | PDF (741 kB) |

| Prominent electrochromism through vacancy-order melting in a complex oxide | | | J. Seidel, W. Luo, S.J. Suresha, P.-K. Nguyen, A.S. Lee, S.-Y. Kim, C.-H. Yang, S.J. Pennycook, S.T. Pantelides, J.F. Scott and R. Ramesh | | | Electrochromic materials reversibly change their colour upon application of an electric field. Seidel et al. measure the optical properties of doped bismuth ferrite and report the largest electrochromic response for an inorganic material, which they attribute to the melting of oxygen-vacancy ordering. | | | 24 Apr | Nat Commun 3:799 doi:10.1038/ncomms1799 (2012) | | | Physical sciences Condensed matter | | | Materials science | | | Abstract | Full Text | PDF (1,012 kB) |
| First enantioseparation and circular dichroism spectra of Au38 clusters protected by achiral ligands | | | Igor Dolamic, Stefan Knoppe, Amala Dass and Thomas Bürgi | | | Clusters of gold atoms protected with achiral thiolates can display chirality, and such chiral nanoparticles could open new possibilities in catalysis and sensing. Here, the first separation of the enantiomers of a gold cluster, protected by achiral thiolates, Au38(SCH2CH2Ph)24, is achieved. | | | 24 Apr | Nat Commun 3:798 doi:10.1038/ncomms1802 (2012) | | | Chemical sciences Analytical chemistry | | | Physical chemistry | | | Abstract | Full Text | PDF (478 kB) |
| VEGETATIVE1 is essential for development of the compound inflorescence in pea | | | Ana Berbel, Cristina Ferrándiz, Valérie Hecht, Marion Dalmais, Ole S. Lund, Frances C. Sussmilch, Scott A. Taylor, Abdelhafid Bendahmane, T.H. Noel Ellis, José P. Beltrán, James L. Weller and Francisco Madueño | | | An understanding of the genetic network that controls the flower-bearing structure—the inflorescence—in plants helps to explain the diversity seen in plant forms. This work identifies a new mechanism for the generation of inflorescence complexity in legumes, which is based on the function of the VEG1 gene. | | | 24 Apr | Nat Commun 3:797 doi:10.1038/ncomms1801 (2012) | | | Biological sciences Developmental biology | | | Genetics Plant sciences | | Abstract | Full Text | PDF (1,411 kB) |

Leroy and Christian Drosten | | | The large virus family, Paramyxoviridae, includes several human and livestock viruses. This study, testing 119 bat and rodent species distributed globally, identifies novel putative paramyxovirus species, providing data with potential uses in predictions of the emergence of novel paramyxoviruses in humans and livestock. | | | 24 Apr | Nat Commun 3:796 doi:10.1038/ncomms1796 (2012) | | | Biological sciences Ecology Evolution | | | | Abstract | Full Text | PDF (1,209 kB) |

Ocko | | | Conjugated polymers are promising materials for organic photovoltaic solar cells. By using in situ grazing incidence wide-angle X-ray diffraction, Ocko and collaborators report the formation of a new type of crystalline arrangement in a conjugated polymer material known as PCDTBT. | | | 24 Apr | Nat Commun 3:795 doi:10.1038/ncomms1790 (2012) | | | Physical sciences Applied physics | | | Materials science | | Abstract | Full Text | PDF (1,205 kB) |

| Binary colloidal structures assembled through Ising interactions | | | Karim S. Khalil, Amanda Sagastegui, Yu Li, Mukarram A. Tahir, Joshua E. S. Socolar, Benjamin J. Wiley and Benjamin B. Yellen | | | The assembly of microscopic particles into macroscopic structures may allow the fabrication of complex materials, but general strategies to provide a wide variety of structures are lacking. Khalil et al. develop a colloidal assembly system, which can be tuned to provide over 20 different pre-programmed structures. | | | 24 Apr | Nat Commun 3:794 doi:10.1038/ncomms1798 (2012) | | | Physical sciences Materials science | | | Nanotechnology | | Abstract | Full Text | PDF (1,285 kB) |

| The C-terminal helical bundle of the tetrameric prokaryotic sodium channel accelerates the inactivation rate OPEN | | | Katsumasa Irie, Takushi Shimomura and Yoshinori Fujiyoshi | | | Many channels have cytosolic domains which regulate channel function. Irie et al. show that the cytosolic C-terminal region of NavSulP, a prokaryotic voltage-gated sodium channel, forms a four-helix bundle which stabilises the tetrameric channel and accelerates channel inactivation. | | | 24 Apr | Nat Commun 3:793 doi:10.1038/ncomms1797 (2012) | | | Biological sciences Biophysics | | | | Abstract | Full Text | PDF (3,023 kB) |

| Stiffening hydrogels to probe short- and long-term cellular responses to dynamic mechanics | | | Murat Guvendiren and Jason A. Burdick | | | Studying the effects of extracellular matrix stiffening has been impeded because most in vitro models are static. Here, dynamic hydrogels are developed that stiffen in the presence of cells and are used to investigate the short-term (minutes-to-hours) and long-term (days-to-weeks) cellular responses to dynamic stiffening. | | | 24 Apr | Nat Commun 3:792 doi:10.1038/ncomms1792 (2012) | | | Physical sciences Bioengineering | | | Materials science | | Abstract | Full Text | PDF (1,145 kB) |

| Distinct Nav1.7-dependent pain sensations require different sets of sensory and sympathetic neurons OPEN | | | Michael S. Minett, Mohammed A. Nassar, Anna K. Clark, Gayle Passmore, Anthony H. Dickenson, Fan Wang, Marzia Malcangio and John N. Wood | | | Sodium channel Nav1.7 is essential for acute human pain but its role in chronic neuropathic pain is unclear. Minett and colleagues show that Nav1.7 expression specifically in sympathetic neurons, rather than sensory neurons, is required for the development of chronic neuropathic pain after injury. | | | 24 Apr | Nat Commun 3:791 doi:10.1038/ncomms1795 (2012) | | | Biological sciences Neuroscience | | Abstract | Full Text | PDF (1,085 kB) |

Dorsky, Lauren Alpert, Charles Lawrence and Robert A. Reenan | | | Adars are adenosine deaminases that act on RNAs, including those encoding proteins involved in neuronal transmission and also Adar RNA. Here, Savva et al. engineered knock-in Drosophila mutants with altered Adar autoediting and found that this changed the spectrum of adenosine deamination and Drosophila behaviour. | | | 24 Apr | Nat Commun 3:790 doi:10.1038/ncomms1789 (2012) | | | Biological sciences Biochemistry | | | Genetics Molecular biology | | | Neuroscience | | Abstract | Full Text | PDF (991 kB) |
