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.
Material chemistry: Casting graphene
Researchers in Beijing have developed an efficient method for preparing large graphene sheets
Cognitive neuroscience: Racial bias in empathy
A brain imaging study shows that people are more empathetic to their own race
Condensed matter physics: Mixed moments
Electrons responsible for the magnetism in undoped iron-arsenide superconductors are neither 'localized' nor 'itinerant', but rather a mix of both
Material physics: Intrinsically magnetic
Zinc-oxide nanoparticles are intrinsically ferromagnetic when doped with cobalt, which should prove useful in spintronics and other applications
