Evidence of the quantum anomalous Hall effect
Researchers observe the quantum anomalous Hall effect in a topological insulator.

Floral electric fields signal to bees
Flowers have varying electrical fields that can be sensed by bees and attract them to come pollinate the flower.
Argon dating determines time scale of Cretaceous mass extinction
High-precision argon dating was used to analyze tektites and bentonites derived from a bolide impact associated with the mass extinction event at the boundary of the Cretaceous and Paleogene periods.
Bat wing aerodynamics
Researchers find that bats employ many adjustments to find tune their wing aerodynamics.
Other stars cause stellar misalignment
Other stars shown to cause misalignment of stellar spin axes and planetary orbits.
Visualization of important protein molecules
This paper uses total internal reflection microscopy (TIRF) to visualize single molecules of proteins that are important in decoding, copying, and rearranging DNA.
Hydrogen atom movement drives cantilever oscillation
These authors capture the energy from hydrogen atom wiggling and use it to drive the oscillation of a macroscopic cantilever
Magnetic beads help understand how cancer invades tissues
In this manuscript, the authors labeled cancer cells with magnetic beads and held them in place using a magnetic-pin array. This method may clarify how cancer cells invade tissues.
