In a focus article recently published within WIREs Climate Change, Clingerman and O’Brien analyze these two very different ways of framing the moral problem of climate change, proposing that each leads to different outcomes for climate ethics and policy.

Polymers and Light
The interaction of matter with light has fascinated scientists for centuries. The field of polymer science has not been immune to this enchantment and progress in new controlled ways to use light to produce new materials is rapidly evolving to more sophisticated systems.
Chimeric RNAs in Cancer and Normal Physiology
Chimeric RNAs can be generated by not only chromosomal rearrangements at the DNA level, but also intergenic splicing at the RNA level. Chimeric RNAs are demonstrated to be not the elusive features of cancer cells, but also present in normal physiology and with diverse functions.
Creating Touchpads with a Spray
Researchers added low-cost touch sensing to objects of almost any shape.
Graphitic Carbon Nitride Derivatives for Cryopreservation
In Advanced Materials, researchers report for the first time the application of graphitic carbon nitride derivatives for cryopreservation of biological systems.
Image-based Computational Fluid Dynamics in the Lung: Virtual Reality or New Clinical Practice?
Image-based computational fluid dynamics (CFD) predicts airflow in the lungs, providing more sensitive biomarkers of how well your lungs are working.
Mutantelec: A Simulation Platform for Profiling of Proteins
The electrostatic potential of proteins determines their ability to interact with specific biological targets. A recent article discusses the application of a novel tool (Mutantelec) in understanding mutations in the tumor suppressor protein p53 and its consequence.s
Novel Divide-and-Conquer-Based Computer Simulations
Computer simulations provide valuable and often critical insight into the structure and properties of materials and molecules.
Skin-Like Polymeric Coatings
A regenerative coating system that consists of a multilayer structure analogous to skin where the coating is formed on a vascularized substrate is developed.
Dynamic Enhancer Function in the Chromatin Context
In live cells, many enhancer-binding transcription factors exchange rapidly with their binding sites and leave no footprints in chromatin. Available data suggests a highly dynamic mechanism for enhancer activation, involving numerous stochastic binding events at a target enhancer.
