"The Goldstone mode and resonances in the fluid interfacial region" by Andrew Parry and Carlos Rascón. You can read the whole Nature Physics paper here in the link. Congratulations, Carlos!

Accurately capturing both microscopic and mesoscopic properties of fluid–gas interfaces is a long-standing challenge. Now, a microscopic theory of correlation functions that can be scaled up to explain mesoscopic surface tension phenomena is put forward.

"A window of opportunity for cooperativity in the T Cell Receptor", work by GISC member Mario Castro and colleagues in Nature Communications.

T cells can be activated by a small, two-digit, number of antigen peptide molecules even though the receptor for antigen (TCR) is of low affinity. Here the authors present evidence that all TCRs within a nanocluster can become activated when only a subset is bound to antigen.
