TL;DR: A linear zipper of molecules that mirrors the linear structure of the intracellular filaments with which cadherins associate may provide a mechanism to marshal individual molecular adhesive interactions into strong bonds between cells.

TL;DR: This study investigates colloidally prepared, highly monodisperse CoPt3 nanoparticles by transmission electron microscopy, small-angleX-ray scattering (SAXS), and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), and examines to which extent agreement is obtained by the different techniques when applied to small nanocrystals in the size range below 10 nm.

TL;DR: The XCCA concept opens up a fascinating view into the world of disorder and will definitely allow, with the advent of free electron X-ray lasers, an accurate and systematic experimental characterization of the structure of the liquid and glass states.

TL;DR: The first single-shot images of ferromagnetic, nanoscale spin order taken with femtosecond x-ray pulses are presented, opening new ways to combine ultrafast laser spectroscopy with sequential snapshot imaging on a single sample, generating a movie of excited state dynamics.

TL;DR: Crystal structures of seryl-tRNA synthetase from Thermus thermophilus complexed with two different analogs of Seryl adenylate have been determined at 2.5 A resolution, finding four regions in the primary sequence involved in the interactions, including the motif 2 and 3 regions of class 2 synthetases.
