The award-winning Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews series combines some of the most powerful features of encyclopedic reference works and review journals in an innovative online format.
Simulations that reach biological timescales
A new computational technique allows researchers to model biological processes with better accuracy and at a lower computational cost.
Using computational models for better thermoregulation in the ICU
Models that can predict and help us to understand the body’s thermal state could help optimize temperature management strategies in a clinical setting.
How do we know if our adaptations to climate change are successful?
Scientists question whether technologies such as desalination will create solutions to climate change or just shift the problem.
Creating better diagnostic tools with light scattering nanoparticles
Recent advanced in nanoparticle-based SERS imaging has led to better diagnoses of diseases like cancer, and improvements in image-guided tumor surgeries.
Joining forces to build realistic living tissue
Hybridizing biofabrication processes will lead us to superior “living” tissue and organ substitutes that can be used to treat patients in lieu of donor grafts and metal and plastic devices.
War on plastic is distracting from more urgent threats to environment, experts warn
While plastic waste is an issue, its prominence in the general public’s concern for the environment is overshadowing greater threats.
The power within our gut
How can computational modeling help to better understand and predict when the power cells of our gut fail?
Skin pigment properties and the importance of heterogeneity
Computational chemistry is key to understanding the unusual properties of eumelanin.
Lighting up the subcellular environment
Light-activated proteins enable scientists to study and engineer subcellular structures for research and biotechnological applications.
