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.
Urology: Melamine hunt
Children exposed to melamine-tainted formula were seven times more likely to have urinary stones than those exposed to melamine-free formula
Agricultural science: Less is more
A four-year study shows that Chinese farmers could cut the use of fertilizer by two-thirds without lowering yields
Nanomaterials: Penetrating plants
Researchers in Beijing show for the first time that carbon nanotubes can transport molecules into plant cells
Nanomaterials: Organic light switches
Organic nanoribbons show different electrical responses to light, depending on whether they are straight or coiled
Photonics: Cocktail colours
Integrating cadmium sulphide nanocrystals into peacock feathers makes photonic composites with markedly different structural colours
Plasma physics: Focus on your neutrons
Researchers propose a design for a compact, laser-driven neutron source
