 Nature CommunicationsInterdisciplinary team demonstrates superconducting qualities of topological insulators An interdisciplinary research team at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, in collaboration with researchers at Brookhaven National Laboratory's Condensed Matter Physics and Materials Science Department, has measured superconductive surface states in TIs where the bulk charge carriers were successfully depleted. Findings may prove useful in search for elusive Majorana quasiparticle.

AACR Annual Meeting 2013AACR: Positive data supports advancing BIND-014 to phase 2 clinical trials for solid tumors BIND Therapeutics clinical investigators presented Phase 1 results with BIND-014, its targeted docetaxel Accurin, in 28 heavily-pretreated patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. BIND-014 was shown to be generally safe and well-tolerated at the established maximum tolerated dose and showed encouraging signs of anti-tumor activity including one complete response, three partial responses and five patients with stable disease lasting at least four cycles.

Nano LettersA step toward optical transistors? In results published online recently in the journal Nano Letters, McGill University researchers show that all-optical modulation and basic Boolean logic functionality -- key steps in the processing and generation of signals -- can be achieved by using laser-pulse inputs to manipulate the quantum mechanical state of a semiconductor nanocrystal.
