Trimm et al.     Unity transmittance at an interface between bulk media is quite common for polarized electromagnetic waves incident at the Brewster angle, but it is rarely observed for sound waves …             Strong Superconducting Proximity Effect in Pb-Bi2Te3 Hybrid Structures ▶     Fanming Qu, Fan Yang, Jie Shen et al.     To study the interface between a conventional superconductor and a topological insulator, we fabricated Pb-Bi2Te3-Pb lateral and sandwiched junctions, and performed electron …             Consensus clustering in complex networks ▶     Andrea Lancichinetti, Santo Fortunato     The community structure of complex networks reveals both their organization and hidden relationships among their constituents. Most community detection methods currently available …             Origin of the relatively low transport mobility of graphene grown through chemical vapor deposition ▶     H. S. Song, S. L. Li, H. Miyazaki et al.     The reasons for the relatively low transport mobility of graphene grown through chemical vapor deposition (CVD-G), which include point defect, surface contamination, and line …             Extreme chemical sensitivity of nonlinear conductivity in charge-ordered LuFe2O4 ▶     Shi Cao, Jun Li, Zhen Wang et al.     Nonlinear transport behaviors are crucial for applications in electronic technology. At the nonlinear critical turning point, the nonequilibrium states cause rich physics …             A fast and flexible panoramic virtual reality system for behavioural and electrophysiological experiments ▶     Jouni Takalo, Arto Piironen, Anna Honkanen et al.     Ideally, neuronal functions would be studied by performing experiments with unconstrained animals whilst they behave in their natural environment. Although this is not feasible …             Hierarchical CO2-protective shell for highly efficient oxygen reduction reaction ▶     Wei Zhou, Fengli Liang, Zongping Shao et al.     The widespread application of intermediate-temperature solid oxide fuel cells is mainly being hurdled by the cathode's low efficiency on oxygen reduction reaction and poor …             Human behavior in Prisoner's Dilemma experiments suppresses network reciprocity ▶     Carlos Gracia-Lázaro, José A. Cuesta, Angel Sánchez et al.     During the last few years, much research has been devoted to strategic interactions on complex networks. In this context, the Prisoner's Dilemma has become a paradigmatic model, …             Scale-invariant structure of size fluctuations in plants ▶     S. Picoli, R. S. Mendes, E. K. Lenzi et al.     A wide range of physical and biological systems exhibit complex behaviours characterised by a scale-invariant structure of the fluctuations in their output signals. In the context …             Fast Purcell-enhanced single photon source in 1,550-nm telecom band from a resonant quantum dot-cavity coupling ▶     Masaya Notomi, Muhammad Danang Birowosuto, Hisashi Sumikura et al.     High-bit-rate nanocavity-based single photon sources in the 1,550-nm telecom band are challenges facing the development of fibre-based long-haul quantum communication networks. …             Evaluating the Viscoelastic Properties of Tissue from Laser Speckle Fluctuations ▶     Seemantini K. Nadkarni, Zeinab Hajjarian     Most pathological conditions such as atherosclerosis, cancer, neurodegenerative, and orthopedic disorders are accompanied with alterations in tissue viscoelasticity. Laser Speckle …             Statistical Laws Governing Fluctuations in Word Use from Word Birth to Word Death ▶     Alexander M. Petersen, Joel Tenenbaum, Shlomo Havlin et al.     We analyze the dynamic properties of 107 words recorded in English, Spanish and Hebrew over the period 1800–2008 in order to gain insight into the coevolution of language and …             Revisiting detrended fluctuation analysis ▶     R. M. Bryce, K. B. Sprague     Half a century ago Hurst introduced Rescaled Range (R/S) Analysis to study fluctuations in time series. Thousands of works have investigated or applied the original methodology …             A Bio-Catalytic Approach to Aliphatic Ketones ▶     Yao Fu, Kechun Zhang, Mingyong Xiong et al.     Depleting oil reserves and growing environmental concerns have necessitated the development of sustainable processes to fuels and chemicals. Here we have developed a general …             On Quantum Effects in a Theory of Biological Evolution ▶     M. A. Martin-Delgado     We construct a descriptive toy model that considers quantum effects on biological evolution starting from Chaitin's classical framework. There are smart evolution scenarios in …             Specificity quantification of biomolecular recognition and its implication for drug discovery ▶     Jin Wang, Zhiqiang Yan     Highly efficient and specific biomolecular recognition requires both affinity and specificity. Previous quantitative descriptions of biomolecular recognition were mostly driven by …             Isotopic evidence of plutonium release into the environment from the Fukushima DNPP accident ▶     Jian Zheng, Keiko Tagami, Yoshito Watanabe et al.     The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant (DNPP) accident caused massive releases of radioactivity into the environment. The released highly volatile fission products, such as 129m…             Fast by Nature - How Stress Patterns Define Human Experience and Performance in Dexterous Tasks ▶     I. Pavlidis, P. Tsiamyrtzis, D. Shastri et al.     In the present study we quantify stress by measuring transient perspiratory responses on the perinasal area through thermal imaging.
