AIChE and Society for Biological Engineering join forces with Wiley to launch Bioengineering & Translational Medicine, with Samir Mitragotri of the University of California, Santa Barbara, as editor-in-chief.

Electrified World
Could we be living without fossil fuels in just 30 years time? Professor Geoff Ozin looks at the likelihood of such a Utopian vision of the future.

Simplified Fabrication Improves Stibnite Solar Cell Efficiency
Research into solar cell materials has shown that stibnite synthesis is fast and cheap, and can be easily scaled up, critical for industrial applications.

CO2: Conflict or Harmony?
Professor Ozin asks the question; do we want war or peace with CO2?

Cleaning up: MOF photocatalysts for chromium reduction
Researchers have developed an effective, iron based, amine-functionalized photocatalyst for reduction of hexavalent chromium using visible light.

Multicomponent Materials – Potential for Hightech Applications
This themed issue of Advanced Engineering Materials focuses on interdisciplinary research work on multicomponent materials.

Jarring Fears – CO2 War or Peace?
Professor Geoff Ozin asks: do we want to fight carbon dioxide, or embrace it?

Radiation protection from tungsten nanotechnology
Korean researchers have developed lightweight commercial gamma radiation shielding based on tungsten/polyethylene nanocomposites.

Biological and nanotoxicity assay for cellular nanoparticles
The combination of flow cytometry and X-ray fluorescence enables semi-quantitative estimation of cellular SiO2 nanoparticles and their biological effects.
Monitoring retina inflammation with Raman spectroscopy
Raman spectroscopy of the retina coupled with multivariate analysis might become a promising tool to study retina diseases in vivo.
