Nature China highlights the best research coming out of Mainland China and Hong Kong, providing scientists from around the world with a convenient portal into publications drawn from across all scientific disciplines.
Immunology: Boost one way, but not the other
A novel ubiquitin ligase that promotes the production of type I interferon may be effective against viral infection
Organic chemistry: Making indoles
Researchers in Beijing have developed a direct approach to making bioactive indoles
Metal-organic frameworks: Helping the environment
Metal-organic frameworks made using rigid imidazole-containing ligands have high photocatalytic activity for the sunlight-driven decomposition of organic dyes in waste streams
Plasma physics: Finding the immeasurable
A simple model can be used to obtain the ion energy distribution function of a capacitively coupled plasma
