Advanced Materials Top 40

It’s a new top 40 and a new top 3 this week, with a distinctly nano theme: work on making and using gold nanorods comes in at number one.

Numbers 2 and 3 are both energy-related; an Indian research team discusses engineering their energy-storing hybrid nanostructures at number 2, while number 3 sees an MIT group construct polymer-free, carbon-based photovoltaics; these devices have no polymeric active or transport layer, instead relying on the electronic properties of a carbon nanotube – fullerene interface to produce voltage.

Also, this week’s number 15 – A Brief Guide to Designing Effective Figures for the Scientific Paper – forms the basis for the first MaterialsViews online event, taking place on July the 16th. Please visit this page if you would like to attend.
