The fastest-rotating fluid p.34
A state of matter called a quark–gluon plasma is produced in energetic collisions of heavy ions. The rotation of this plasma has been measured for the first time, providing insights into the physics of the strong nuclear force. See Letter p.62doi: 10.1038/548034a
Neurons couple up to make decisions p.35
The use of state-of-the-art techniques to study neuronal activity during a navigational task involving sound stimuli broadens our understanding of how neuronal populations produce complex behaviours. See Letter p.92doi: 10.1038/nature23100
Energy sensing through a sugar diphosphate p.36
The molecule fructose-1,6-bisphosphate, which is produced during glucose metabolism, has been shown to mediate cellular sensing of glucose deprivation through an unexpected mechanism. See Letter p.112doi: 10.1038/nature23099

Ozone-like layer in an exoplanet atmosphere p.38
The nature of exoplanetary atmospheres is hotly debated. The thermal spectrum of an exoplanet called a hot Jupiter reveals the presence of an analogue of Earth's ozone layer, although its composition is unknown. See Letter p.58doi: 10.1038/548038b
A precision approach to tumour treatment p.40

Hypothalamic stem cells control ageing speed partly through exosomal miRNAs p.52
Ablation of hypothalamic stem/progenitor cells in mice leads to ageing-related decreases in physiological parameters and lifespan, and the speed of ageing is partially controlled by these cells through the release of exosomal miRNAs.doi: 10.1038/nature23282
