A causative link between particle properties and …             Detection and mapping of illicit drugs and their metabolites in fingermarks by MALDI MS and compatibility with forensic techniques ▶     G. Groeneveld, M. de Puit, S. Bleay et al.     Despite the proven capabilities of Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionisation Mass Spectrometry (MALDI MS) in laboratory settings, research is still needed to integrate this …             Structural, energetic, and dynamic insights into the abnormal xylene separation behavior of hierarchical porous crystal ▶     Jiao-Min Lin, Chun-Ting He, Pei-Qin Liao et al.     Separation of highly similar molecules and understanding the underlying mechanism are of paramount theoretical and practical importance, but visualization of the host-guest …             Tuning the Electronic Structure of Anatase Through Fluorination ▶     Dario Corradini, Damien Dambournet, Mathieu Salanne     A highly fluorinated anatase lattice has been recently reported, providing a new class of materials whose general chemical formula is Ti1−x□xX4xO2−4x (X− = F− or OH−). To …             Preparation of Graphene-Modified Acupuncture Needle and Its Application in Detecting Neurotransmitters ▶     Lina Tang, Danxin Du, Fan Yang et al.     We report a unique nanosensing platform by combining modern nanotechnology with traditional acupuncture needle to prepare graphene-modified acupuncture needle (G-AN), and using …             Preparation by alkaline treatment and detailed characterisation of empty hepatitis B virus core particles for vaccine and gene therapy applications ▶     Arnis Strods, Velta Ose, Janis Bogans et al.     Hepatitis B virus (HBV) core (HBc) virus-like particles (VLPs) are one of the most powerful protein engineering tools utilised to expose immunological epitopes and/or …             An Alternative Phosphorylation Switch in Integrin β2 (CD18) Tail for Dok1 Binding ▶     Sebanti Gupta, Joel Chia-Yeong Chit, Chen Feng et al.     Integrins are involved in cell migration and adhesion. A large number of proteins interact with the cytoplasmic tails of integrins. Dok1 is a negative regulator of integrin …             Controlled synthesis of series NixCo3-xO4 products: Morphological evolution towards quasi-single-crystal structure for high-performance and stable lithium-ion batteries ▶     Yu Zhou, Yong Liu, Wenxia Zhao et al.     Transition metal oxides are very promising alternative anode materials for high-performance lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, their conversion reactions and concomitant …             In situ imaging and proteome profiling indicate andrographolide is a highly promiscuous compound ▶     Lin Li, Hadhi Wijaya, Sanjay Samanta et al.     Natural products represent an enormous source of pharmacologically useful compounds, and are often used as the starting point in modern drug discovery. Many biologically …             Novel VN/C nanocomposites as methanol-tolerant oxygen reduction electrocatalyst in alkaline electrolyte ▶     K. Huang, K. Bi, C. Liang et al.     A novel VN/C nanostructure consisting of VN nanoparticles and graphite-dominant carbon layers is synthesized by nitridation of V2O5 using melamine as reductant under inert …             Kinetics of protein-ligand unbinding via smoothed potential molecular dynamics simulations ▶     Luca Mollica, Sergio Decherchi, Syeda Rehana Zia et al.     Drug discovery is expensive and high-risk. Its main reasons of failure are lack of efficacy and toxicity of a drug candidate. Binding affinity for the biological target has been …                     • Careers & Jobs           naturejobs.com Science jobs of the week       Postdoctoral Fellowship     Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai            Senior Research Scientist     National Oceanography Centre, Liverpool            Postdoctoral Research Associate     University of Edinburgh            Postdoctoral Fellow     Umeå University            Senior Scientist     University of Zurich            Laboratory Research Technician     Dalhousie Medicine NB - UNB Saint John            Postdoctoral Positions in Eye Development     Northwestern University            Postdoctoral Research Associate (PDRA)     University College London (UCL)            Postdoctoral Research Associate     Texas A&M University            Postdoctoral Research Fellow     University of Aberdeen          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.
