Symmetry breaking in the formation of magnetic vortex states in a permalloy nanodisk
Mi-Young Im, Peter Fischer, Keisuke Yamada, Tomonori Sato, Shinya Kasai, Yoshinobu Nakatani and Teruo Ono
Vortex states in magnetic nanoislands are characterized by a curling of the magnetization in the plane of the disk. This study demonstrates experimentally that vortices tend to form with a preferred handedness that is dictated by the Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction.

Topological crystalline insulators in the SnTe material class
Timothy H. Hsieh, Hsin Lin, Junwei Liu, Wenhui Duan, Arun Bansi and Liang Fu
Topologically protected states of matter are receiving widespread attention owing to their unusual electronic properties. Using numerical simulations, this study predicts that tin telluride is a physical realization of a new class of materials termed topological crystalline insulators.

An orbital-selective spin liquid in a frustrated heavy fermion spinel LiV2O4
Yasuhiro Shimizu, Hikaru Takeda, Moe Tanaka, Masayuki Itoh, Seiji Niitaka and Hidenori Takagi
The Kondo coupling causes electron mass enhancement in rare earth materials, but not in other d electron systems. Shimizu et al. report on the combination of frustrated spin liquid and strong Hund's coupling in a vanadium spinel as a mechanism for the microscopic origin of heavy d fermions in transition metals.

Social networks reveal cultural behaviour in tool-using using dolphins OPEN
Janet Mann, Margaret A. Stanton, Eric M. Patterson, Elisa J. Bienenstock and Lisa O. Singh
Whether humans are the only animals with cultural behaviour remains an open question in behavioural research. Here, a network analysis of the social preferences among bottlenose dolphins in Shark Bay, Australia finds that tool-using dolphins prefer others like themselves, suggesting the presence of cultural behaviour.

Quantifying the magnetic nature of light emission OPEN
Tim H. Taminiau, Sinan Karaveli, Niek F. van Hulst and Rashid Zia
Light-matter interactions are generally dominated by electric fields and electric-dipole transitions. This study, however, quantifies magnetic contributions to light emission and so exploits the strong natural magnetic-dipole transitions in lanthanide ions to measure optical-frequency magnetic fields.

Ubiquitination and degradation of the FADD adaptor protein regulate death receptor-mediated apoptosis and necroptosis
Eun-Woo Lee, Jung-Hoon Kim, Ye-Hyeon Ahn, Jinho Seo, Aram Ko, Manhyung Jeong, Seok-Jun Kim, Jae Y. Ro, Ki-Moon Park, Han-Woong Lee, Eun Jung Park, Kyung-Hee Chun and Jaewhan Song
Fas-associated protein with death domain (FADD) is part of a signalling complex that controls some forms of programmed cell death. Lee and colleagues demonstrate that FADD ubiquitination by the E3 ubiquitin ligase MKRN1 regulates FADD protein stability and thereby cell death.

Solderable and electroplatable flexible electronic circuit on a porous stretchable elastomer
Gi Seok Jeong, Dong-Hyun Baek, Ha Chul Jung, Ji Hoon Song, Jin Hee Moon, Suck Won Hong, In Young Kim and Sang-Hoon Lee
The integration of flexible electronics with conventional devices has been hampered by the lack of suitable soldering techniques able to withstand stretching. Jeong et al. use a porous substrate to fabricate biocompatible, stretchable electronics that can be interfaced with commercial components.

Proteomic screen reveals Fbw7 as a modulator of the NF-κB pathway
Azadeh Arabi, Karim Ullah, Rui M.M. Branca, Johan Johansson, Daniel Bandarra, Moritz Haneklaus, Jing Fu, Ingrid Ariës, Peter Nilsson, Monique L. Den Boer, Katja Pokrovskaja, Dan Grandér, Gutian Xiao, Sonia Rocha, Janne Lehtiö and Olle Sangfelt
Fbw7 is a ubiquitin-ligase, which targets several oncoproteins for proteolysis, and is therefore important for the control and prevention of tumorigenesis. In this study, Arabi and colleagues carry out a proteomic screen of the targets of Fbw7, and identify Nuclear Factor of κ-B2 as a substrate.
