| Mycophagous rove beetles highlight diverse mushrooms in the Cretaceous OPEN | | | Chenyang Cai, Richard A. B. Leschen, David S Hibbett, Fangyuan Xia and Diying Huang | | | Agarics (gilled mushrooms) are rarely preserved as fossils, which has obscured their evolutionary history. Here, the authors describe new forms of agarics as well as new species of rove beetles with morphological specializations for mushroom feeding discovered in 99-million-year-old Burmese amber. | | | 16 March 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14894 | | |

Lacruz, Veit Flockerzi, Imre Kacskovics, Murali Prakriya and Stefan Feske | | | Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channels are essential for protective immunity, but the immunological functions of the three ORAI homologues that form CRAC channels are unclear. Here the authors show that ORAI1 and ORAI2 form heteromeric CRAC channels, which fine-tune T cell activation and immune responses. | | | 15 March 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14714 | | |
| Dynamics and universal scaling law in geometrically-controlled sessile drop evaporation OPEN | | | P. J. Sáenz, A. W. Wray, Z. Che, O. K. Matar, P. Valluri, J. Kim and K. Sefiane | | | Drop evaporation can be used as a fabrication technology for targeted particle deposition or microflow control, yet previous research is limited to spherical drops. Here, Sáenz et al. generalize the evaporation dynamics for arbitrary drop geometry and show its potential for more sophisticated control. | | | 15 March 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14783 | | |
| Casimir force phase transitions in the graphene family OPEN | | | Pablo Rodriguez-Lopez, Wilton J. M. Kort-Kamp, Diego A. R. Dalvit and Lilia M. Woods | | | The Casimir force is a ubiquitous interaction arising from electromagnetic quantum fluctuations. Here, the authors uncover the underlying physics governing Casimir force phase transitions in staggered 2D materials in the graphene family. | | | 15 March 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14699 | | |
| Phosphorylation of Rab-coupling protein by LMTK3 controls Rab14-dependent EphA2 trafficking to promote cell:cell repulsion OPEN | | | Christine Gundry, Sergi Marco, Elena Rainero, Bryan Miller, Emmanuel Dornier, Louise Mitchell, Patrick T. Caswell, Andrew D. Campbell, Anna Hogeweg, Owen J. Sansom, Jennifer P. Morton and Jim C. Norman | | | Ephrin receptors mediate contact inhibition, but their intracellular trafficking during this process is unknown. Here the authors show that EphA2 receptor trafficking is regulated by the Rab GTPase effector Rab-coupling protein, which associates with Rab14-endosomes upon LMTK3-mediated phosphorylation. | | | 15 March 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14646 | | |
| Experimental demonstration of photon upconversion via cooperative energy pooling OPEN | | | Daniel H. Weingarten, Michael D. LaCount, Jao van de Lagemaat, Garry Rumbles, Mark T. Lusk and Sean E. Shaheen | | | Photon upconversion methods demonstrated thus far involve challenging requirements. Here Weingarten et al. demonstrate a mechanism called cooperative energy pooling, in which multiple photoexcited sensitizers resonantly and simultaneously transfer their energies to a higher-energy state on a single acceptor. | | | 15 March 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14808 | | |
| Proposal for dark exciton based chemical sensors OPEN | | | Maja Feierabend, Gunnar Berghäuser, Andreas Knorr and Ermin Malic | | | Two-dimensional materials have shown great promise as efficient chemical sensors. Here, the authors present a sensing mechanism to allow the detection of molecules based on dark excitons in atomically thin transition metal dichalcogenides. | | | 15 March 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14776 | | |
| Complex picture for likelihood of ENSO-driven flood hazard OPEN | | | R. Emerton, H. L. Cloke, E. M. Stephens, E. Zsoter, S. J. Woolnough and F. Pappenberger | | | El Niño and La Niña (ENSO) events influence global river flow and are often used as an early indicator of potential flooding. Here, the authors show that the probability of ENSO-driven flood hazard is more complex than is often perceived, and highlight the importance of considering hydrological response. | | | 15 March 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14796 | | |
| Ground state selection under pressure in the quantum pyrochlore magnet Yb2Ti2O7 OPEN | | | E. Kermarrec, J. Gaudet, K. Fritsch, R. Khasanov, Z. Guguchia, C. Ritter, K. A. Ross, H. A. Dabkowska and B. D. Gaulin | | | An understanding of how quantum spin liquids arise in frustrated magnets at low temperatures remains elusive. Here the authors demonstrate a pressure-driven ferromagnetic transition out of a quantum spin liquid phase in the pyrochlore Yb2Ti2O7, highlighting its proximity to a phase boundary. | | | 15 March 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14810 | | | | | | | | | | | | | Latest Corrigenda | | | | |
