Siderophile-enriched sediments from the Cretaceous–Tertiary boundary
Siderophilic element concentrations are high in sediments from the Cretaceous–Tertiary boundary. An extraterrestrial source is indicated. Concentrations are too high to be understood in terms of the impact of ...

High noble metal concentrations in a late Pliocene sediment
A 2.3-Myr-old layer in a sediment from the Antarctic Ocean contains Ir and Au at levels comparable with those at the Cretaceous–Tertiary boundary. A sizable fraction of the noble metals is contained in vesicul...

Field evidence for active normal faulting in Tibet
Crustal thickening does not now occur in southern Tibet. Field observations made during the Chinese–French expedition of 1980 support an earlier hypothesis based on a combined analysis of satellite images and ...

The Tibetan side of the India–Eurasia collision
Results are reported from the 1980 joint French–Chinese field expedition in Tibet. The area covered was from the High Himalaya in the south, to the region of Nagqu ∼250 km north of Yangbajain. Ophiolites in th...

Article
Dynamic uplift of the Himalaya
It has become widely accepted that the Himalaya is the product of collision between the Indian landmass and the Eurasian continent. Holmes1 conjectured that the Indian Shield was carried northwards by sub-lithosp...

Article
Structure and evolution of the Himalaya–Tibet orogenic belt
The 1981 French–Chinese expedition to Tibet focused on the Lhasa block, extending earlier coverage 400 km north of the Tsangpo suture. The Lhasa block stood between 10 and 15° N latitude over most of the Upper...

Palaeomagnetic estimates of crustal shortening in the Himalayan thrusts and Zangbo suture
This article reports new palaeomagnetic results from precisely-dated late Palaeocene limestones from the former northern margin of the Indian subcontinent, now in Tibet, between the major Himalayan thrusts and...

Surface electronic properties probed with tunnelling microscopy and chemical do**
Scanning tunnelling microscopy1–3 (STM) can provide atomic-resolution images of surfaces in vacuum4,5, air6 and liquids7,8. One of the most appealing aspects of such images is that they appear to reflect surface ...

Partly pedogenic origin of magnetic variations in Chinese loess
QUATERNARY sequences of interbedded aeolian silts (loess) and buried soils (palaeosols) potentially provide one of the best terrestrial records of past climates1–5. Magnetic susceptibility variations in loess and...

Cloning and expression of human and rat Dt dopamine receptors
THE importance of the dopaminergic system in brain function has been emphasized by its association with neurological and psychiatric disorders such as Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia. On the basis of the...

Electron-doped superconductivity at 40 K in the infinite-layer compound Sr1–yNdyCu02
THE known copper oxide superconductors all have intergrowth structures consisting of superconducting layers of fixed oxygen content alternating with non-superconducting oxide layers. Siegrist et al.1 reported the...

Structure and bonding in alkali-metal-doped C60
IT has been shown recently that MxC60 (M = alkali metal) is metallic at 300 K for some M and x (ref. 1) and superconducts below 18 K for M = potassium2. These observations give further impetus to studies of the m...

Photochemical degradation of dissolved organic carbon and its impact on the oceanic carbon cycle
THE processes that regulate the cycling of oceanic dissolved organic carbon (DOC), one of the largest carbon reservoirs on the Earth's surface1, are largely unknown. DOC residues in the deep sea, below 500 m, see...

Article
Intercalation of solid C60 with iodine
METALLIC and superconducting donor-type intercalation compounds of C60 are now well established. These involve electron transfer from a sublattice of alkali-metal dopants to a sublattice of fullerene molecules. T...

Article
Intercalation of sodium heteroclusters into the C60 lattice
INTERCALATION of sodium into C60 has been shown1 to yield a range of compounds Nax C60 (2<x<6). Unlike the other alkali-metal-doped compounds, there is no evidence of superconductivity within this range of do**...

Superconductivity in barium fulleride
INTERCALATING solid C60 with dopant atoms yields materials with a remarkable range of properties1. Alkali metal atoms, for example, readily form charge-transfer compounds2,3, AxC60 (where A is an alkali metal), w...

Nodal is a novel TGF-β-like gene expressed in the mouse node during gastrulation
DURING gastrulation, the three germ layers of the embryo are formed and organized along the anterior-posterior body axis. In the mouse, gastrulation involves the delamination of ectodermal cells through the pr...

MAP kinase-related FUS3 from S. cerevisiae is activated by STE7 in vitro
PHEROMONE-STIMULATED haploid yeast cells undergo a differentiation process that allows them to mate1. Transmission of the intracellular signal involves threonine and tyrosine phosphorylation of the redundant FUS...

Increased transition temperature in superconducting Na2CsC60 by intercalation of ammonia
A WIDE variety of alkali-metal fullerides (AxC60) have been prepared, with stoichiometries varying between 1⩽=x⩽=11 (refs 1,2). Most of the compounds with x = 3 are superconductors with unusually high transition ...
