To maintain health and …             Experimental violation of the Leggett-Garg inequality under decoherence ▶     Jin-Shi Xu, Chuan-Feng Li, Xu-Bo Zou et al.     Despite the great success of quantum mechanics, questions regarding its application still exist and the boundary between quantum and classical mechanics remains unclear. Based on …             Are mental properties supervenient on brain properties? ▶     Joshua T. Vogelstein, R. Jacob Vogelstein, Carey E. Priebe     The “mind-brain supervenience” conjecture suggests that all mental properties are derived from the physical properties of the brain. To address the question of whether the mind …             Emergence of structural patterns out of synchronization in networks with competitive interactions ▶     Salvatore Assenza, Ricardo Gutiérrez, Jesús Gómez-Gardeñes et al.     Synchronization is a collective phenomenon occurring in systems of interacting units, and is ubiquitous in nature, society and technology. Recent studies have enlightened the …             Unified regression model of binding equilibria in crowded environments ▶     Byoungkoo Lee, Philip R. LeDuc, Russell Schwartz     Molecular crowding is a critical feature distinguishing intracellular environments from idealized solution-based environments and is essential to understanding numerous …             Experimental pressure-temperature phase diagram of boron: resolving the long-standing enigma ▶     Gleb Parakhonskiy, Natalia Dubrovinskaia, Elena Bykova et al.     Boron, discovered as an element in 1808 and produced in pure form in 1909, has still remained the last elemental material, having stable natural isotopes, with the ground state …             All-optical routing and switching for three-dimensional photonic circuitry ▶     Robert Keil, Matthias Heinrich, Felix Dreisow et al.     The ability to efficiently transmit and rapidly process huge amounts of data has become almost indispensable to our daily lives. It turned out that all-optical networks provide a …             Evidence of Deterministic Components in the Apparent Randomness of GRBs: Clues of a Chaotic Dynamic ▶     G. Greco, R. Rosa, G. Beskin et al.     Prompt γ-ray emissions from gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) exhibit a vast range of extremely complex temporal structures with a typical variability time-scale significantly short – as …             Solving Quantum Ground-State Problems with Nuclear Magnetic Resonance ▶     Zhaokai Li, Man-Hong Yung, Hongwei Chen et al.     Quantum ground-state problems are computationally hard problems for general many-body Hamiltonians; there is no classical or quantum algorithm known to be able to solve them …             Quasi-Molecular Fluorescence from Graphene Oxide ▶     Charudatta Galande, Aditya D. Mohite, Anton V. Naumov et al.     Aqueous dispersions of graphene oxide (GO) have been found to emit a structured, strongly pH-dependent visible fluorescence. Based on experimental results and model computations, …             OspA-CD40 dyad: ligand-receptor interaction in the translocation of neuroinvasive Borrelia across the blood-brain barrier ▶     Lucia Pulzova, Andrej Kovac, Rastislav Mucha et al.     Lyme borreliosis is the most widespread vector-borne disease in temperate zones of Europe and North America. Although the infection is treatable, the symptoms are often overlooked …             The time variation of dose rate artificially increased by the Fukushima nuclear crisis ▶     Masahiro Hosoda, Shinji Tokonami, Atsuyuki Sorimachi et al.     A car-borne survey for dose rate in air was carried out in March and April 2011 along an expressway passing northwest of the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Station which …             Iodine doped carbon nanotube cables exceeding specific electrical conductivity of metals ▶     Yao Zhao, Jinquan Wei, Robert Vajtai et al.     Creating highly electrically conducting cables from macroscopic aggregates of carbon nanotubes, to replace metallic wires, is still a dream. Here we report the fabrication of …             Enhanced clickability of doubly sterically-hindered aryl azides ▶     Suguru Yoshida, Akira Shiraishi, Kimiyuki Kanno et al.     Steric character is one of the most fundamental factors to determine the reactivity of the substrate in organic synthesis. In bimolecular reaction, the sterically-bulky group …             Hiding a Realistic Object Using a Broadband Terahertz Invisibility Cloak ▶     Fan Zhou, Yongjun Bao, Wei Cao et al.     The invisibility cloak has been a long-standing dream for many researchers over the decades. Using transformation optics, a three-dimensional (3D) object is perceived as having a …                 Careers & Jobs           naturejobs.com Science jobs of the week       Postdoctoral Fellow     Duke University Durham, US           Assistant Professor, Pharmacology     Purdue University West Lafayette, US           Postdoctoral position in Structural microbiology     University of Toronto Toronto, CA           Phd Position on Material Science and Engineering, Biomedical science     Department of Material Science and Engineering, Lobat Tayebi Tulsa, US           Research technician     Institute of Molecular Biotechnology of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (IMBA) Vienna, AT           Interdisciplinary PhD studentships in Heidelberg     University of Heidelberg and Max Planck Institute Heidelberg, DE           Clinical Assistant Professor of Biology & Environmental Studies     New York University New York, US           Financial Manager – Customer Marketing     Syngenta Seeds, Inc. Greensboro, US           Academic Gastroenterologist in Philadelphia     Drexel University College of Medicine Philadelphia, US         No matter what your career stage, student, postdoc or senior scientist, you will find articles on naturejobs.com to help guide you in your science career.
