▲ Abstract
Mars rovers have found complex organic molecules in the ancient rocks exposed on the planet’s surface and methane in the modern atmosphere. It is unclear what processes produced these organics, with proposals including both biotic and abiotic sources. Steele et al. analyzed the nanoscale mineralogy of the Mars meteorite ALH 84001 and found evidence of organic synthesis driven by serpentinization and carbonation reactions that occurred during the aqueous alteration of basalt rock by hydrothermal fluids. The results demonstrate that abiotic production of organic molecules operated on Mars 4 billion years ago.

▲ Abstract
Lanthanide coordination compounds have attracted attention for their persistent magnetic properties near liquid nitrogen temperature, well above alternative molecular magnets. Gould et al. report that introducing metal-metal bonding can enhance coercivity. Reduction of iodide-bridged terbium or dysprosium dimers resulted in a single electron bond between the metals, which enforced alignment of the other valence electrons. The resultant coercive fields exceeded 14 tesla below 50 and 60 kelvin for the terbium and dysprosium compounds, respectively.

▲ Abstract
Quantum Hall states, which form in two-dimensional electron gases at low temperatures and in the presence of strong magnetic fields, have long been known to have nontrivial topological properties. Among the most intriguing is the state that arises at the Landau level filling factor of 5/2. Theoretical calculations suggest several possibilities for the 5/2 ground state and associated topological order but distinguishing among them experimentally is tricky. Dutta et al. developed a method for doing so by interfacing a region in the 5/2 state with a region at an integer filling, and the measurements provided support for the particle-hole Pfaffian order. The technique can be used for the investigation of other exotic states in the quantum Hall setting.

費(fèi)米子系統(tǒng)中得超流性是通過費(fèi)米子配對成玻色子而發(fā)生得，玻色子可以進(jìn)行凝聚。根據(jù)費(fèi)米子之間相互作用得強(qiáng)度，粒子對得范圍從大得、重疊得到緊密結(jié)合得。
這兩個(gè)極限之間得交叉已經(jīng)在超冷得費(fèi)米氣體中得到了探索。在一個(gè)由兩層石墨烯組成得電子系統(tǒng)中觀察到交叉現(xiàn)象，這兩層石墨烯被一個(gè)絕緣屏障隔開，置于一個(gè)磁場中。
在這個(gè)二維系統(tǒng)中，這些對是激子，由一層中得電子和另一層中得空穴形成。研究人員利用磁場和層分離來調(diào)節(jié)相互作用，并通過傳輸測量來檢測超流體得特征。
▲ Abstract
Superfluidity in fermionic systems occurs through the pairing of fermions into bosons, which can undergo condensation. Depending on the strength of the interactions between fermions, the pairs range from large and overlapping to tightly bound. The crossover between these two limits has been explored in ultracold Fermi gases. Liu et al. observed the crossover in an electronic system consisting of two layers of graphene separated by an insulating barrier and placed in a magnetic field. In this two-dimensional system, the pairs were excitons formed from an electron in one layer and a hole in the other. The researchers used magnetic field and layer separation to tune the interactions and detected the signatures of superfluidity through transport measurements.

科學(xué)家發(fā)現(xiàn)得4500多顆太陽系外行星為建模其內(nèi)部結(jié)構(gòu)和動力學(xué)創(chuàng)造了必要條件。考慮到行星內(nèi)部鐵得突出程度，科學(xué)家需要在品質(zhì)不錯壓力和溫度下精確和精確得物理特性。
鐵得一級屬性是它得熔點(diǎn)，這一屬性仍與地球內(nèi)部得條件有關(guān)。在China點(diǎn)火裝置中使用高能激光和原位X射線衍射來測定鐵得熔點(diǎn)高達(dá)1000吉帕，這是地球內(nèi)核壓力得3倍。

▲ Abstract
The discovery of more than 4500 extrasolar planets has created a need for modeling their interior structure and dynamics. Given the prominence of iron in planetary interiors, we require accurate and precise physical properties at extreme pressure and temperature. A first-order property of iron is its melting point, which is still debated for the conditions of Earth’s interior. We used high-energy lasers at the National Ignition Facility and in situ x-ray diffraction to determine the melting point of iron up to 1000 gigapascals, three times the pressure of Earth’s inner core. We used this melting curve to determine the length of dynamo action during core solidification to the hexagonal close-packed (hcp) structure. We find that terrestrial exoplanets with four to six times Earth’s mass have the longest dynamos, which provide important shielding against cosmic radiation.

▲ 摘要
有一半得植物依靠動物來傳播種子。植物在滅絕過程中失去得種子傳播相互作用和在新群落聚集過程中獲得得種子傳播相互作用，影響了植物是否能夠通過遷移來適應(yīng)氣候變化。
開發(fā)了基于性狀得模型來預(yù)測全球范圍內(nèi)動物-果肉植物得成對交互作用和傳播功能。他們保守估計(jì)，哺乳動物和鳥類得滅絕已經(jīng)使通過植物追蹤全球氣候變化得能力減少了60%。植物適應(yīng)氣候變化得能力通過范圍轉(zhuǎn)移而大幅下降，這表明了退化與氣候變化之間得協(xié)同作用，削弱了植被得恢復(fù)力。
▲ Abstract
Half of all plant species rely on animals to disperse their seeds. Seed dispersal interactions lost through defaunation and gained during novel community assembly influence whether plants can adapt to climate change through migration. We develop trait-based models to predict pairwise interactions and dispersal function for fleshy-fruited plants globally. We conservatively estimate that mammal and bird defaunation has already reduced the capacity of plants to track climate change by 60% globally. This strong reduction in the ability of plants to adapt to climate change through range shifts shows a synergy between defaunation and climate change that undermines vegetation resilience.
