Drought-Tolerant Crops? Targeting Carbon May Be the Way Forward
Research shows that the secret to crop drought resilience may lie within a sugar-signalling pathway.
Hearing Crosstalk: The Molecular Conversation Orchestrating Inner Ear Dorsoventral Patterning
Schoenwolf et al. focus on the crosstalk that occurs among three families of secreted proteins to progressively polarize and pattern the developing otocyst dorsoventrally.
Black Phosphorous: Size-Dependent Toxicity Implications
The concentration-, size-, and cell type-dependent response to layered black phosphorous is explored to maximise its potential and avoid future problems.

Targeted Drug Delivery through Microswimmers
Soft microswimmers that use a combination of acoustic and magnetic fields to demonstrate motion with precise manoeuvrability in a blood vessel.
3D Printing of Tunable Poisson Ratio Metallic Aerogels
Control over macro- and microstructures, density, conductivity, and Poisson ratio is enabled by this new combined metallic aerogel production technique.
Economic Growth and Development with Low-Carbon Energy
An overview article, which has been published in WIREs Energy and Environment, explores the growth consequences of the shift to a low-carbon economy.
The Protein Corona on Nanoparticles as viewed from a Nanoparticle Sizing Perspective
A biomolecular adsorption layer (corona) forms on essentially all nanoparticles immersed in biological fluids, and governs their interactions with the biological environment. Key aspects of protein corona formation and its structure and dynamics have yet remained elusive and call for further investigations.
Monitoring Growth Kinetics of Hybrid Metal–Organic Frameworks
Researchers monitor the growth kinetics of hybrid metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) in situ using a novel and cost-effective method.
