Here we examine changes in major …             Do Shale Pore Throats Have a Threshold Diameter for Oil Storage? ▶     Caineng Zou, Xu Jin, Rukai Zhu et al.     In this work, a nanoporous template with a controllable channel diameter was used to simulate the oil storage ability of shale pore throats. On the basis of the wetting …             Brillouin spectroscopy of fluid inclusions proposed as a paleothermometer for subsurface rocks ▶     Mouna El Mekki-Azouzi, Chandra Shekhar Pati Tripathi, Gaël Pallares et al.     As widespread, continuous instrumental Earth surface air temperature records are available only for the last hundred fifty years, indirect reconstructions of past temperatures …             Morphological defects in native Japanese fir trees around the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant ▶     Yoshito Watanabe, San’ei Ichikawa, Masahide Kubota et al.     After the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (F1NPP) in March 2011, much attention has been paid to the biological consequences of the released radionuclides …             A Novel Designed Bioreactor for Recovering Precious Metals from Waste Printed Circuit Boards ▶     Ruan Jujun, Zheng Jie, Hu Jian et al.     For recovering precious metals from waste printed circuit boards (PCBs), a novel hybrid technology including physical and biological methods was developed. It consisted of …             Micro/Nano-pore Network Analysis of Gas Flow in Shale Matrix ▶     Pengwei Zhang, Liming Hu, Jay N. Meegoda et al.     The gas flow in shale matrix is of great research interests for optimized shale gas extraction. The gas flow in the nano-scale pore may fall in flow regimes such as viscous flow, …             Microbial synthesis of Pd/Fe3O4, Au/Fe3O4 and PdAu/Fe3O4 nanocomposites for catalytic reduction of nitroaromatic compounds ▶     Ya Tuo, Guangfei Liu, Bin Dong et al.     Magnetically recoverable noble metal nanoparticles are promising catalysts for chemical reactions. However, the chemical synthesis of these nanocatalysts generally causes …             Heterogeneity: The key to failure forecasting ▶     Jérémie Vasseur, Fabian B. Wadsworth, Yan Lavallée et al.     Elastic waves are generated when brittle materials are subjected to increasing strain. Their number and energy increase non-linearly, ending in a system-sized catastrophic …             A Study of Phytolith-occluded Carbon Stock in Monopodial Bamboo in China ▶     Jie Yang, Jiasen Wu, Peikun Jiang et al.     Bamboo plants have been proven to be rich in phytolith-occluded carbon (PhytOC) and play an important role in reducing atmospheric concentrations of CO2. The object of this paper …             The Dynamics of Coalition Formation on Complex Networks ▶     S. Auer, J. Heitzig, U. Kornek et al.     Complex networks describe the structure of many socio-economic systems. However, in studies of decision-making processes the evolution of the underlying social relations are …             Studying Ancient Anthropogenic Impacts on Current Floral Biodiversity in the Southern Levant as reflected by the Philistine Migration ▶     Suembikya Frumin, Aren M. Maeir, Liora Kolska Horwitz et al.     Human migrations across geographic boundaries can facilitate the introduction of new husbandry practices and dispersal of plants and animals, resulting in changes in …                     • Careers & Jobs           naturejobs.com Science jobs of the week       Sr Research Asst     The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center            Tenure-track Assistant Professor     Washington University School of Medicine            Research Associate     Imperial College London            Associate Professor Position in Theoretical / Computational Biophysics     Università degli Studi di Trento            Senior Bioinformatician     Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust            Professor of Sustainability Science (tenure track)     Lappeenranta University of Technology (LUT)            Postdoctoral Fellowship     Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai            Senior Lecturer / Associate Professor in Physical Chemistry     Uppsala University            Bioinformatician     John Innes Centre (JIC)            Postdoctoral Research Position     Harvard Medical School          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.
