Deliberate exotic magnetism via frustration and topology pp200 - 203 Cristiano Nisoli, Vassilios Kapaklis and Peter Schiffer doi:10.1038/nphys4059 Introduced originally to mimic the unusual, frustrated behaviour of spin ice pyrochlores, artificial spin ice can be realized in odd, dedicated geometries that open the door to new manifestations of a higher level of frustration. |

Insight on Dark Matter Current status of direct dark matter detection experiments pp212 - 216 Jianglai Liu, Xun Chen and Xiangdong Ji doi:10.1038/nphys4039 Direct dark matter searches are pushing the limits on the scattering of weakly interacting massive particles on normal matter so WIMPs are running out of places to hide. |
|
|
|
Insight on Dark Matter Search for dark matter at colliders pp217 - 223 Oliver Buchmueller, Caterina Doglioni and Lian-Tao Wang doi:10.1038/nphys4054 Beyond the standard model, the weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) hypothesis for dark matter is one of the most compelling, and the one being tested at the Large Hadron Collider. |

Insight on Dark Matter Indirect dark matter searches in gamma and cosmic rays pp224 - 231 Jan Conrad and Olaf Reimer doi:10.1038/nphys4049 Dark matter could decay into conventional particles leaving behind specific signatures in the gamma rays and cosmic rays. Astronomical observations are used to search for these elusive dark matter footprints. |

|
|
Insight on Dark Matter High-energy neutrino astrophysics pp232 - 238 Francis Halzen doi:10.1038/nphys3816 Neutrinos from deep space can be used as astronomical messengers, providing clues about the origin of cosmic rays or dark matter. The IceCube experiment is leading the way in neutrino astronomy. |

Cooperatively enhanced dipole forces from artificial atoms in trapped nanodiamonds pp241 - 245 Mathieu L. Juan, Carlo Bradac, Benjamin Besga, Mattias Johnsson, Gavin Brennen et al. doi:10.1038/nphys3940 The strength of optical trapping of a nanodiamond can be increased by cooperative effects between its numerous colour centres — or artificial atoms: an observation that brings together ideas from atom and nanoparticle trapping.

Real-time confinement following a quantum quench to a non-integrable model pp246 - 249 Marton Kormos, Mario Collura, Gabor Takács and Pasquale Calabrese doi:10.1038/nphys3934 Confinement plays an important role in many-body physics from high energy to condensed matter. New results show that it strongly affects the non-equilibrium dynamics after a quantum quench with possible implications from ultracold atoms to QCD. |

A global inversion-symmetry-broken phase inside the pseudogap region of YBa2Cu3Oy pp250 - 254 L. Zhao, C. A. Belvin, R. Liang, D. A. Bonn, W. N. Hardy et al. doi:10.1038/nphys3962 A spectroscopic study of the canonical cuprate materials YBCO reveals the point group symmetry of this system inside its pseudogap phase. |

Fermi polaron-polaritons in charge-tunable atomically thin semiconductors pp255 - 261 Meinrad Sidler, Patrick Back, Ovidiu Cotlet, Ajit Srivastava, Thomas Fink et al. doi:10.1038/nphys3949 Cavity spectroscopy measurements elucidate the Fermi polaron nature of the optical excitations in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides. |

High-harmonic generation from an atomically thin semiconductor pp262 - 265 Hanzhe Liu, Yilei Li, Yong Sing You, Shambhu Ghimire, Tony F. Heinz et al. doi:10.1038/nphys3946 Observations of high-harmonic generation from a single layer of a transition metal dichalcogenide opens the door to studying strong-field and attosecond phenomena in two-dimensional materials. |

Schistosoma mansoni cercariae swim efficiently by exploiting an elastohydrodynamic coupling pp266 - 271 Deepak Krishnamurthy, Georgios Katsikis, Arjun Bhargava and Manu Prakash doi:10.1038/nphys3924 The success with which the parasite Schistosoma mansoni infects humans is due largely to its efficient motility. Experiments, modelling and robotics suggest that it swims via an elastohydrodynamic mechanism, rather than using active muscle control. |

Propagating compaction bands in confined compression of snow pp272 - 275 Thomas W. Barraclough, Jane R. Blackford, Stefan Liebenstein, Stefan Sandfeld, Tim J. Stratford et al. doi:10.1038/nphys3966 When deforming snow slowly, it resists. But when applying a deformation rapidly, it gives in more easily. Experiments now reveal propagating deformation bands and the localization of strain in compressed snow — both natural and artificial. |

Disk-mediated accretion burst in a high-mass young stellar object pp276 - 279 A. Caratti o Garatti, B. Stecklum, R. Garcia Lopez, J. Eisloffel, T. P. Ray et al. doi:10.1038/nphys3942 Observations show that, like light solar-mass stars, heavy stars also form through episodic disk-accretion; but faster, more energetic and emitting more light.

Attosecond correlation dynamics pp280 - 285 M. Ossiander, F. Siegrist, V. Shirvanyan, R. Pazourek, A. Sommer et al. doi:10.1038/nphys3941 Photoemission is not a simple process and it is not instantaneous. Delays of a few attoseconds have now been measured in helium and it seems that they are partly due to electronic correlations.

Randeria, Jian Li, Sangjun Jeon, Yonglong Xie et al. doi:10.1038/nphys3947 High-resolution scanning tunnelling microscopy measurements show that chains of magnetic atoms on the surface of a superconductor provide a promising platform for realizing and manipulating Majorana fermion quasiparticles. |

Long-range mutual synchronization of spin Hall nano-oscillators pp292 - 299 A. A. Awad, P. Dürrenfeld, A. Houshang, M. Dvornik, E. Iacocca et al. doi:10.1038/nphys3927 The synchronization of nine nanoconstriction spin Hall nano-oscillators brings spin-based oscillators closer to the power and noise requirements needed for practical applications. |

Control of spin-orbit torques through crystal symmetry in WTe2/ferromagnet bilayers pp300 - 305 D. MacNeill, G. M. Stiehl, M. H. D. Guimaraes, R. A. Buhrman, J. Park et al. doi:10.1038/nphys3933 A link between crystalline symmetry and the allowed symmetries of spin–orbit torques provides a route for manipulating magnetic devices with perpendicular anisotropy.

Light-controlled flows in active fluids pp306 - 312 Julien Dervaux, Marina Capellazzi Resta and Philippe Brunet doi:10.1038/nphys3926 The ability of phototactic microorganisms to move towards optimal light intensities is exploited to generate fluid flows on scales several orders larger than the swimmers themselves. These flows are shown to function as hydrodynamic tweezers. |

Insight on Dark Matter A constant conflict p314 Barbara Ryden doi:10.1038/nphys4055 Narrowing down the value of the Hubble constant has been problematic — probably a manifestation of the dark-energy mystery, writes Barbara Ryden. |
