Advertisement Nature Electronics — now live  Nature Electronics publishes both fundamental and applied research across all areas of electronics, incorporating the work of scientists, engineers and industry. At its core, the journal is concerned with the development of new technologies and understanding the impact of these developments on society.  Read the first issue — free for a limited time      Articles   Topological order and thermal equilibrium in polariton condensates    pp145 - 151 Davide Caputo, Dario Ballarini, Galbadrakh Dagvadorj, Carlos Sánchez Muñoz, Milena De Giorgi et al. doi:10.1038/nmat5039 The Berezinskii–Kosterlitz–Thouless transition is observed in a 2D gas of exciton-polaritons, through measurements of the first-order coherence both in space and time. Isotope engineering of van der Waals interactions in hexagonal boron nitride    pp152 - 158 T. Q. P. Vuong, S. Liu, A. Van der Lee, R. Cuscó, L. Artús et al. doi:10.1038/nmat5048 Isotope engineering in hexagonal boron nitride can affect its vibrational, electronic and optical properties due to the isotope substitution, as well as induce a change in the van der Waals interactions.
