Regarding the creation of the links to read the articles. For me the readcube link is just made from the DOI you get on the public webpage. It is so simple that I even wrote a little bookmarklet to do it: https://betatim.github.io/posts/read-any-nature-paper-for-fr...

For example for http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/natu... the readcube link is simply http://www.readcube.com/articles/10.1038/nature14015

It seems too easy? What am I missing?

Conclusion, I forgot to turn off my VPN at some point when testing the resulting link. If you are not at CERN (like me) it will just show a preview :(

If you want to learn about graphene's amazing properties go ahead and read the paper here: http://rdcu.be/bKud
