Herein, a series of supramolecular crosslinking system were prepared through …             Arsenolipids in oil from blue whiting Micromesistius poutassou - evidence for arsenic-containing esters ▶     Mojtaba S. Taleshi, Georg Raber, John S. Edmonds et al.     Arsenic-containing lipids in the oil from the blue whiting fish (Micromesistius poutassou) were separated into three broad polarity groups and investigated by HPLC and mass …             Selective Nickel- and Manganese-Catalyzed Decarboxylative Cross Coupling of Some α,β-Unsaturated Carboxylic Acids with Cyclic Ethers ▶     Jia-Xiang Zhang, Yan-Jing Wang, Wei Zhang et al.     A nickel- and manganese-catalyzed decarboxylative cross coupling of α, β-unsaturated carboxylic acids with cyclic ethers such as tetrahydrofuran and 1, 4-dioxane was developed. …             A Novel DC Microplasma Sensor Constructed in a Cavity PDMS Chamber with Needle Electrodes for Fast Detection of Methanol-containing Spirit ▶     Dai-bing Luo, Yi-xiang Duan, Yi He et al.     A novel microplasma device, for the first time, was constructed in a cavity Poly (dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) chamber with two normal syringe needles serve as both the gas channels …             Inhibition of CO poisoning on Pt catalyst coupled with the reduction of toxic hexavalent chromium in a dual-functional fuel cell ▶     Dong Young Chung, Hyoung-il Kim, Young-Hoon Chung et al.     We propose a method to enhance the fuel cell efficiency with the simultaneous removal of toxic heavy metal ions. Carbon monoxide (CO), an intermediate of methanol oxidation that …             Free-standing Fe2O3 nanomembranes enabling ultra-long cycling life and high rate capability for Li-ion batteries ▶     Xianghong Liu, Wenping Si, Jun Zhang et al.     With Fe2O3 as a proof-of-concept, free-standing nanomembrane structure is demonstrated to be highly advantageous to improve the performance of Li-ion batteries. The Fe2O3 …             Evolutionary Importance of the Intramolecular Pathways of Hydrolysis of Phosphate Ester Mixed Anhydrides with Amino Acids and Peptides ▶     Ziwei Liu, Damien Beaufils, Jean-Christophe Rossi et al.     Aminoacyl adenylates (aa-AMPs) constitute essential intermediates of protein biosynthesis. Their polymerization in aqueous solution has often been claimed as a potential route to …             Influence of MoO3(110) Crystalline Plane on Its Self-Charging Photoelectrochemical Properties ▶     Shi Nee Lou, Nicholas Yap, Jason Scott et al.     Nanocrystalline molybdenum oxide (α-MoO3) thin films with iso-oriented crystalline layers were synthesised by the anodisation of Mo foils. Upon band-gap excitation using light …             Molecular nanomagnets with switchable coupling for quantum simulation ▶     Alessandro Chiesa, George F. S. Whitehead, Stefano Carretta et al.     Molecular nanomagnets are attractive candidate qubits because of their wide inter- and intra-molecular tunability. Uniform magnetic pulses could be exploited to implement one- …             Synthesis of Ordered Mesoporous Phenanthrenequinone-Carbon via π-π Interaction-Dependent Vapor Pressure for Rechargeable Batteries ▶     Mi-Sook Kwon, Aram Choi, Yuwon Park et al.     The π-π interaction-dependent vapour pressure of phenanthrenequinone can be used to synthesize a phenanthrenequinone-confined ordered mesoporous carbon. Intimate contact between …             Complete mineralization of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) by γ-irradiation in aqueous solution ▶     Ze Zhang, Jie-Jie Chen, Xian-Jin Lyu et al.     Decomposition of perfluorooctanoic acid (C7F15COOH, PFOA) has been gaining increasing interests because it is a ubiquitous environmental contaminant and resistant to the most …             CeO2 nanocubes-graphene oxide as durable and highly active catalyst support for proton exchange membrane fuel cell ▶     M. Lei, Z. B. Wang, J. S. Li et al.     Rapid degradation of cell performance still remains a significant challenge for proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). In this work, we develop novel CeO2 nanocubes-graphene …             Three-dimensionally networked graphene hydroxide with giant pores and its application in supercapacitors ▶     Dongwook Lee, Jiwon Seo     The three-dimensionally networked and layered structure of graphene hydroxide (GH) was investigated. After lengthy immersion in a NaOH solution, most of the epoxy groups in the …             Visualization of Freezing Process in situ upon Cooling and Warming of Aqueous Solutions ▶     Anatoli Bogdan, Mario J. Molina, Heikki Tenhu et al.     The freezing of aqueous solutions and reciprocal distribution of ice and a freeze-concentrated solution (FCS) are poorly understood in spite of their importance in fields ranging …             Sequence dependence of electron-induced DNA strand breakage revealed by DNA nanoarrays ▶     Adrian Keller, Jenny Rackwitz, Emilie Cauët et al.     The electronic structure of DNA is determined by its nucleotide sequence, which is for instance exploited in molecular electronics. Here we demonstrate that also the DNA strand …                     • Careers & Jobs           naturejobs.com Science jobs of the week       Postdoctoral Fellow     City University of New York            Associate Research Fellow     University of Exeter            Research Associate (Fixed Term)     University of Cambridge            PhD Fellowship     Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB)            postdoctorals positions     University Montpellier 1            Senior Computational Statistician     Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics            Postdoctoral Researcher     Louisiana State University            Postdoctoral Research Assistant     Birkbeck University of London            Postdoctoral Scholar     University of California - San Francisco            Research Technician     Hospital for Special Surgery          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.
