Light diffraction however sets a fundamental limit …             High Sensitivity Gas Detection Using a Macroscopic Three-Dimensional Graphene Foam Network ▶     Fazel Yavari, Zongping Chen, Abhay V. Thomas et al.     Nanostructures are known to be exquisitely sensitive to the chemical environment and offer ultra-high sensitivity for gas-sensing. However, the fabrication and operation of …             Macroscopic nucleation phenomena in continuum media with long-range interactions ▶     Masamichi Nishino, Cristian Enachescu, Seiji Miyashita et al.     Nucleation, commonly associated with discontinuous transformations between metastable and stable phases, is crucial in fields as diverse as atmospheric science and nanoscale …             Hyperthermic effects of dissipative structures of magnetic nanoparticles in large alternating magnetic fields ▶     Hiroaki Mamiya, Balachandran Jeyadevan     Targeted hyperthermia treatment using magnetic nanoparticles is a promising cancer therapy. However, the mechanisms of heat dissipation in the large alternating magnetic field …             Heterostructured electrode with concentration gradient shell for highly efficient oxygen reduction at low temperature ▶     Wei Zhou, Fengli Liang, Zongping Shao et al.     Heterostructures of oxides have been widely investigated in optical, catalytic and electrochemical applications, because the heterostructured interfaces exhibit pronouncedly …             Intrinsic noise alters the frequency spectrum of mesoscopic oscillatory chemical reaction systems ▶     Rajesh Ramaswamy, Ivo F. Sbalzarini     Mesoscopic oscillatory reaction systems, for example in cell biology, can exhibit stochastic oscillations in the form of cyclic random walks even if the corresponding macroscopic …             Discovering Network Structure Beyond Communities ▶     Takashi Nishikawa, Adilson E. Motter     To understand the formation, evolution, and function of complex systems, it is crucial to understand the internal organization of their interaction networks. Partly due to the …             Simultaneous multilayer scanning and detection for multiphoton fluorescence microscopy ▶     Partha Pratim Mondal, Alberto Diaspro     Fast three-(3D) imaging requires parallel optical slicing of a specimen with an efficient detection scheme. The generation of multiple localized dot-like excitation structures …             Uncovering high-strain rate protection mechanism in nacre ▶     Zaiwang Huang, Haoze Li, Zhiliang Pan et al.     Under high-strain-rate compression (strain rate ∼103 s−1), nacre (mother-of-pearl) exhibits surprisingly high fracture strength vis-à-vis under quasi-static loading (strain rate 10…             Uncovering the Global Life Cycles of the Rare Earth Elements ▶     Xiaoyue Du, T. E. Graedel     The rare earth elements (REE) are a group of fifteen elements with unique properties that make them indispensable for a wide variety of emerging, critical technologies. Knowledge …             Metamaterials with conformational nonlinearity ▶     Mikhail Lapine, Ilya V. Shadrivov, David A. Powell et al.     Within a decade of fruitful development, metamaterials became a prominent area of research, bridging theoretical and applied electrodynamics, electrical engineering and material …                         Nature Reviews Neuroscience FOCUS ON ADDICTION Read for FREE online at: www.nature.com/nrn/focus/addiction Produced with support from National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), National Institutes of Health, U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.               • Careers & Jobs           naturejobs.com Science jobs of the week       Group Leader Position in Applied Infectious Diseases Research     Institut für Tropenmedizin, Universitätsklinikum Tübingen            Postdoctoral Research Assistant: Parasite Glycobiology     University of Dundee            Postdoctoral Researcher     Louisiana State University            Senior Research Scientist / Instructor (if qualify)     Boston University School of Medcine            BBSRC-funded CASE PhD studentships in Structural Molecular Biology     Imperial College London            Postdoctoral Position, (Chemo-)Genetic interactions     Science for Life Laboratory (SciLifeLab)            Evolutionary Developmental Biology, Assistant Professor     California State University Monterey Bay            group leader in Cell Biology     Institut Curie/CNRS            Postdoctoral Research Fellow (Attosecond Science)     Griffith University            Research Assistants in Photochemical and Reaction Dynamics (Three Posts)     University of Bristol          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.
