Phase-preserving amplification near the quantum limit with a Josephson ring modulator
- Autor:
N. Bergeal
- Resumen:
Recent progress in solid-state quantum information processing has stimulated the search for amplifiers and frequency converters with quantum-limited performance in the microwave range. Here, a phase-preserving, superconducting parametric amplifier with ultra-low-noise properties has been experimentally realized

Designed biomaterials to mimic the mechanical properties of muscles
- Autor:
Shanshan Lv
- Resumen:
Here, artificial proteins are described that mimic the molecular architecture of titin — a protein that helps to govern the passive elastic properties of muscle. The new artificial proteins combine structured and unstructured domains, and can be photochemically crosslinked into a solid biomaterial that is resilient at low strains and extensible and tough at high strains. This provides an example of tailoring the macroscopic properties of a material through engineering at the single-molecule level

Fast torsional waves and strong magnetic field within the Earth’s core
- Autor:
Nicolas Gillet
- Resumen:
The magnetic field inside the Earth's outer core cannot be directly probed. The intensity of the magnetic field at the core–mantle boundary is estimated to be 0.3 mT, and geodynamo models predict a value about ten times larger (3 mT) for the core's interior. Other data, however, indicate an internal field of only around 0.2 mT. This discrepancy has now been resolved: an ensemble inversion of core flow models finds a torsional wave recurring every 6 years, leading to an estimated field strength of around 4 mT inside the core

Seismic and aseismic slip on the Central Peru megathrust
- Autor:
Hugo Perfettini
- Resumen:
Slip on a subduction megathrust can occur during an earthquake or aseismically. The size, location and frequency of earthquakes that a megathrust can generate depend on where and when aseismic creep is taking place, and what fraction of the long-term slip it accounts for. Here this issue is addressed by looking at the central Peru megathrust, and specifically at the Pisco earthquake of 2007. The findings show that aseismic creep accounts for 50–70% of the slip budget on the seismogenic portion of the megathrust

Pronuclear transfer in human embryos to prevent transmission of mitochondrial DNA disease
- Autor:
Lyndsey Craven
- Resumen:
Mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) are a common cause of human genetic disease. It has been shown in non-human primates that nuclear transfer techniques might be an approach to prevent the transmission of mtDNA mutations. The proof of principle has now been extended to human embryos. Pronuclei were transferred between human zygotes, which developed onwards to the blastocyst stage in vitro. Carry-over of mtDNA from the donor zygotes to the recipients was minimal
