Avian influenza: Straight from the dragon's mouth
The mouth of the 'dragon' protein could be the key to a bird-flu cure
Carbon chemistry: Chain stores
An approach to fixing carbon from the atmosphere could be cheap and environmentally friendly
Eukaryotes: Changes enclosed
Genome comparisons of eukaryotes, including primates, rodents, fruit flies, rice and yeast, show that single-nucleotide mutations occur most frequently around sequence insertions and deletions
Nanotubes: Amazing actuators
A polymer containing carbon nanotubes shows great potential as a powerful low-voltage mechanical actuator
Nanostructures: Metal loses its shine
Laser treatment can dramatically transform the surfaces of metals so that they absorb most wavelengths of light
