Quantum phases from competing short- and long-range interactions in an optical lattice
Insights into complex phenomena in quantum matter can be gained from simulation experiments with ultracold atoms, especially in cases where theoretical characterization is challenging. However, these experiments are mostly limited to short-range collisional interactions; recently observed perturbative effects of long-range interactions were too weak to reach new quantum phases. Here we experimentally realize a bosonic lattice model with competing short- and long-range interactions, and...

Facebook shifts stance to allow sponsored posts from media companies
With the rise of ad blockers cutting into the bottom line, media companies have turned to sponsored content to gain back some of that revenue. But getting those posts in front of people as more and more traffic comes from Facebook...
The locations of recent supernovae near the Sun from modelling 60Fe transport
The signature of 60Fe in deep-sea crusts indicates that one or more supernovae exploded in the solar neighbourhood about 2.2 million years ago. Recent isotopic analysis is consistent with a core-collapse or electron-capture supernova that occurred 60 to 130 parsecs from the Sun. Moreover, peculiarities in the cosmic ray spectrum point to...

Cerebral cavernous malformations arise from endothelial gain of MEKK3–KLF2/4 signalling
Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are common inherited and sporadic vascular malformations that cause strokes and seizures in younger individuals. CCMs arise from endothelial cell loss of KRIT1, CCM2 or PDCD10, non-homologous proteins that form an adaptor complex. How disruption of the CCM complex results in disease remains controversial, with numerous signalling pathways (including Rho, SMAD and Wnt/β-catenin) and processes such as endothelial–mesenchymal transition (EndMT)...
