In this focus issue we highlight the latest developments aimed at increasing our understanding of how graphene and graphitic surfaces interact with water.  Access the focus   Editorial Top It's all about data   p691 doi:10.1038/nnano.2013.216 Research data comes in various forms and levels of significance. Finding the best way to share all of the results of a research project can be difficult, but new ways are constantly emerging. Correspondence Top Reply to 'Dissipative feedback does not improve the optimal resolution of incoherent force detection'   p692 E. Gavartin, P. Verlot and T. J. Kippenberg doi:10.1038/nnano.2013.200 Commentary Top Report the awful truth!   pp693 - 695 Leonie Mueck doi:10.1038/nnano.2013.204 Negative and null results are routinely produced across all scientific disciplines, but rarely get reported. The key to combat the biases arising from this mismatch lies in disseminating all details about a work, rather than just positive results. Thesis Top Anti-nanotech violence   pp697 - 698 Chris Toumey doi:10.1038/nnano.2013.201 Nanotechnology researchers have recently been targeted by armed eco-terrorists. Chris Toumey examines the motivation of these attackers.

Z. Yu, T. Hara, D. Morikawa, N. Kanazawa et al. doi:10.1038/nnano.2013.174 The size and helicity of magnetic skyrmions in chiral-lattice magnets can be controlled by changes in the spin–orbit coupling. Single-nanocrystal sensitivity achieved by enhanced upconversion luminescence   pp729 - 734 Jiangbo Zhao, Dayong Jin, Erik P. Schartner, Yiqing Lu, Yujia Liu et al. doi:10.1038/nnano.2013.171 Bright luminescence from upconversion nanocrystals can be achieved by combining high-excitation irradiance with a high activator concentration. The enhanced brightness allows a single nanocrystal to be tracked, which can be used in bioimaging applications, for example.
