Nature China will highlight 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.
Sensors: A snappy detector
Scientists have made a label-free reusable aptamer-based sensor for sensitive detection of small molecules
Leukocytes: Sticky cells
Scientists have unravelled how white blood cells adhere to the blood-vessel wall to protect us from bacterial infection
Protein structure: Totally hooked
The hook-like structure of the p100 protein works like an 'anchor' during splicing
ATP release: How it all started
Scientists have found where and how ATP signalling molecules are released in the brain
SWNT films: Grow with the flow
SWNT films directly synthesized under gas flow show excellent optical, electrical and mechanical properties
Water-quality management: A speedy sensor
Scientists have developed a fast, automated biosensor for measuring the oxygen uptake by microbes in saltwater
Composite materials: Radar shields
Composite sandwiches coated with metal magnetic micropowder are excellent shields from radar detection
Carbon nanotubes: Cool light
Cold, efficient luminescent tubes have been made using carbon nanotubes as electron emitters
Particle physics: Hidden states
The Beijing Spectrometer allows scientists to search for new exotic particles
