Mackie, John A. Darling, Jonathan B. Geller     Watersipora is an invasive genus of bryozoans, easily dispersed by fouled vessels. We examined Cytochrome c oxidase subunit I haplotypes from introduced populations on the US …             Observation of inhibited electron-ion coupling in strongly heated graphite ▶     T. G. White, J. Vorberger, C. R. D. Brown et al.     Creating non-equilibrium states of matter with highly unequal electron and lattice temperatures (Tele≠Tion) allows unsurpassed insight into the dynamic coupling between electrons …             A Hydration-Based Biophysical Index for the Onset of Soil Microbial Coexistence ▶     Gang Wang, Dani Or     Mechanistic exploration of the origins of the unparalleled soil microbial biodiversity represents a vast and uncharted scientific frontier. Quantification of candidate mechanisms …             Constitutive Law and Flow Mechanism in Diamond Deformation ▶     Xiaohui Yu, Paul Raterron, Jianzhong Zhang et al.     Constitutive laws and crystal plasticity in diamond deformation have been the subjects of substantial interest since synthetic diamond was made in 1950's. To date, however, little …             Enhancing electrochemical detection on graphene oxide-CNT nanostructured electrodes using magneto-nanobioprobes ▶     Priyanka Sharma, Vijayender Bhalla, Vinayak Dravid et al.     Graphene and related materials have come to the forefront of research in electrochemical sensors during recent years due to the promising properties of these nanomaterials. …             Spatial organization of foreshocks as a tool to forecast large earthquakes ▶     E. Lippiello, W. Marzocchi, L. de Arcangelis et al.     An increase in the number of smaller magnitude events, retrospectively named foreshocks, is often observed before large earthquakes. We show that the linear density probability of …             White Band Disease transmission in the threatened coral, Acropora cervicornis ▶     S. A. Gignoux-Wolfsohn, Christopher J. Marks, Steven V. Vollmer     The global rise in coral diseases has severely impacted coral reef ecosystems, yet often little is known about these diseases, including how they are transmitted. White Band …             The Evolution of Homophily ▶     Feng Fu, Martin A. Nowak, Nicholas A. Christakis et al.     Biologists have devoted much attention to assortative mating or homogamy, the tendency for sexual species to mate with similar others. In contrast, there has been little …             High temperatures-related elderly mortality varied greatly from year to year: important information for heat-warning systems ▶     Yuming Guo, Adrian G. Barnett, Shilu Tong     We examined the variation in association between high temperatures and elderly mortality (age ≥ 75 years) from year to year in 83 US cities between 1987 and 2000. We used a Poisson …             Inexpensive method for producing macroporous silicon particulates (MPSPs) with pyrolyzed polyacrylonitrile for lithium ion batteries ▶     Madhuri Thakur, Steven L. Sinsabaugh, Mark J. Isaacson et al.     One of the most exciting areas in lithium ion batteries is engineering structured silicon anodes. These new materials promise to lead the next generation of batteries with …                         Scientific Reports is accepting submissions from all scientific fields.
