I got this automated email from Nature:
Nature is debatably, the foremost scientific journal in the world, published in England. So it's rather odd to find them publishing short stories. Still, it is nice to see the human side of physics.
I read them all through - enjoyed the first one "The day we made history" the best. Check them out, and remember you're reading stories written by folks that probably know more about the physics of nature than about writing stories. . . <hehe>

In January 2007, Nature Physics introduced a new feature to its third volume: Futures, a specially commissioned physics-based series of essays. Regular readers of our sister title Nature may already be familiar with this strand of science-fiction essays, winner of a European Science Fiction Society award, which ended its run in Nature in December 2006.

Does science fiction have a place in a journal of science fact?
Futures is about imagination, communication, extrapolation, lateral thinking and physics. But most of all its there to be enjoyed. As a taster, try these three essays, already published in Nature Physics in 2007:
The day we made history
Ian Stewart

Giving up meat
