環境科学: 森林と洪水
Environmental science: Forests and floods p409
One strategy for reducing catastrophic floods invokes protecting or regenerating forests that lie upstream of a threatened region. Support for this approach comes from a global-scale analysis of flood risk.

For practical and ethical reasons, researchers are on the lookout for ways to reprogramme one mature cell type into another. In one case, this might be as easy as switching off a single gene.

核物理学: 消えない魔法トリック
Nuclear physics: A non-disappearing magic trick p411
Well-established models of nuclei describe properties such as shells and magic numbers. But how do these predictions stand up to scrutiny for exotic, unstable nuclei? Pretty well, according to the latest study.

量子物理学: 光子バスを使うキュービット
Quantum physics: Qubits ride the photon bus p415
Quantum mechanics using whole electrical circuits might seem a far-fetched idea. But make the circuits superconducting, and they can be used to send and collect single photons, rather like atoms do — only better.
