Observations of an extreme storm in interplanetary space caused by successive coronal mass ejections
Ying D. Liu, Janet G. Luhmann, Primož Kajdič, Emilia K.J. Kilpua, Noé Lugaz, Nariaki V. Nitta, Christian Möstl, Benoit Lavraud, Stuart D. Bale, Charles J. Farrugia and Antoinette B. Galvin
Coronal mass ejections are large expulsions of plasma from the solar corona into space, and are drivers of major space weather effects. Here, the authors report observations of two successive ejections, whose interaction led to extremely enhanced magnetic fields and high solar wind speeds near 1 AU.

Non-canonical function of spindle assembly checkpoint proteins after APC activation reduces aneuploidy in mouse oocytes
Simon I.R. Lane and Keith T. Jones
The spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) has been viewed as a switch that prevents chromosome segregation until all chromosomes are correctly attached to spindle microtubules. Lane and Jones show that in meiosis I, SAC proteins remain partially active after prometaphase, and prevent aneuploidy by prolonging meiosis.

Blockade of TLR3 protects mice from lethal radiation-induced gastrointestinal syndrome OPEN
Naoki Takemura, Takumi Kawasaki, Jun Kunisawa, Shintaro Sato, Aayam Lamichhane, Kouji Kobiyama, Taiki Aoshi, Junichi Ito, Kenji Mizuguchi, Thangaraj Karuppuchamy, Kouta Matsunaga, Shoichiro Miyatake, Nobuko Mori, Tohru Tsujimura, Takashi Satoh, Yutaro Kumagai, Taro Kawai, Daron M. Standley, Ken J. Ishii, Hiroshi Kiyono et al.
Ionizing radiation damages small intestinal crypt cells, including epithelial stem cells and their progeny. Here the authors show that radiation-induced crypt cell death is amplified by the release of cellular RNA from apoptotic epithelial cells, which then triggers pro-apoptotic TLR3 signalling on neighbouring cells.

Bulk mixed ion electron conduction in amorphous gallium oxide causes memristive behaviour
Yoshitaka Aoki, Carsten Wiemann, Vitaliy Feyer, Hong-Seok Kim, Claus Michael Schneider, Han Ill-Yoo and Manfred Martin
A memristor is the missing fourth circuit element that remembers its bias history. The storage in established devices today occurs by binary switching between ON and OFF states due to filamentary or interfacial mechanisms. Here, Aoki et al. show an analogue-type, homogeneous switching memristor system based on gallium oxide.

Restoration of the third law in spin ice thin films OPEN
L. Bovo, X. Moya, D. Prabhakaran, Yeong-Ah Soh, A.T. Boothroyd, N.D. Mathur, G. Aeppli and S.T. Bramwell
In bulk, the spin ice Dy2Ti2O7 has posed an enigma because – due to its slow dynamics – it is unclear whether and how the material will reach a zero entropy state at zero temperature. Here, the authors show that in thin films of Dy2Ti2O7 a zero entropy state is induced at 0.4 K, plausibly by lattice strain.
