A novel brain partition highlights the modular skeleton shared by structure and function
(Nature Publishing Group, 2015-06-03)
Elucidating the intricate relationship between brain structure and function, both in healthy and pathological conditions, is a key challenge for modern neuroscience. Recent progress in neuroimaging has helped advance our ...
Insight on how fishing bats discern prey and adjust their mechanic and sensorial features during the attack sequence
(Nature Publishing Group, 2015-07-21)
Several insectivorous bats have included fish in their diet, yet little is known about the processes underlying this trophic shift. We performed three field experiments with wild fishing bats to address how they manage to ...
Environmental judgment in early childhood and its relationship with the understanding of the concept of living beings
(Springer, 2013)
The evidence collected concerning the biocentric judgment that young children express when evaluating human actions on the environment leads some scholars to suggest that an essential understanding of the notion of living ...
Digital-analog quantum simulation of generalized Dicke models with superconducting circuits
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017-03-03)
We propose a digital-analog quantum simulation of generalized Dicke models with superconducting circuits, including Fermi- Bose condensates, biased and pulsed Dicke models, for all regimes of light-matter coupling. We ...
How central are clients in sexual networks created by commercial sex?
(Nature Publishing Group, 2014-12-18)
Sex workers are traditionally considered important vectors of transmission of sexually transmitted infections (STI). The role of clients is commonly overlooked, partially due to the lack of evidence on clients' position ...
Energetics and Structural Characterization of the large-scale Functional Motion of Adenylate Kinase
(Nature Publishing, 2015-02-12)
Adenylate Kinase (AK) is a signal transducing protein that regulates cellular energy homeostasis balancing between different conformations. An alteration of its activity can lead to severe pathologies such as heart failure, ...
Modelling Lipid Competition Dynamics in Heterogeneous Protocell Populations
(Nature Publishing Group, 2014-07-14)
Recent experimental work in the field of synthetic protocell biology has shown that prebiotic vesicles are able to 'steal' lipids from each other. This phenomenon is driven purely by asymmetries in the physical state or ...
Digital Quantum Rabi and Dicke Models in Superconducting Circuits
(Nature Publishing Group, 2014-12-15)
We propose the analog-digital quantum simulation of the quantum Rabi and Dicke models using circuit quantum electrodynamics (QED). We find that all physical regimes, in particular those which are impossible to realize in ...
The Forbidden Quantum Adder
(Nature Publishing Group, 2015-07-08)
Quantum information provides fundamentally different computational resources than classical information. We prove that there is no unitary protocol able to add unknown quantum states belonging to different Hilbert spaces. ...
Biomimetic Cloning of Quantum Observables
(Nature Publishing Group, 2014-05-09)
We propose a bio-inspired sequential quantum protocol for the cloning and preservation of the statistics associated to quantum observables of a given system. It combines the cloning of a set of commuting observables, ...
