Staying or going? Chirality decides!
When an electronic device is cooled to low temperature, the wavelike nature of charge carriers becomes detectable through quantum interference effects. One example is weak localization, a small decrease in the conductivity of a disordered conductor [1, 2]. Since interference depends on the quantum-mechanical phase of electronic waves, the experimental signature of weak localization has been use...

Ischemic cerebrovascular disease, a major public health problem, is accompanied, and possibly caused in a large percentage of cases, by extracranial arterial lesions. A rapidly expanding body of surgical litera ture records the success of procedures designed to re pair these lesions along with a decline in recent years in surgical mortality for such procedures.

We do not need a randomised controlled trial to determine if intramedullary nailing of a fracture of the femur is more effective, for any outcome, than months in traction.

I say “moral obligation” because it is sometimes implied by advocates of recombinant D N A research that science would be guilty of a sin of omission if it did not continue and promote research so pr...
