This Special Issue presents recent developments on iron and steel making in Australia and China.
Professor Geoff Ozin has received an RSC Centenary Award – we asked for his thoughts on the research that brought him here.
Researchers in Japan have developed a novel high performance microcapacitor with excellent energy and power densities, for on-chip and MEMS applications.
Michael Grätzel et al. show excellent device stability for perovskite solar cells tested outdoors in the hot, humid climate of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
A multiple core–shell 3D printing method has been developed to fabricate soft, stretchable, fibre-based, capacitive strain sensors. The sensors can be readily integrated into conventional clothing and used in gait monitoring.
Professor Ozin explores the chameleon’s color-shifting ability, and how the same principles have been utilised in the lab and in manufacturing.
Huisheng Peng talks about how his research interests and career have developed and his role as an Editorial Board co-chair for the new journal ChemNanoMat.
Car manufacturer Nissan partners with inventor Hamish Scott to create paint that uses UV energy absorbed during daylight to glow at night.
