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.
From Damaged Woods to Renewable Bioenergy
The opportunities and challenges of salvage logging of biomass after natural disturbances to supply wood-based bioenergy.
Protecting Mangroves Can Reduce Carbon Emission
As the home of the largest mangrove area in the world, Indonesia is a key player in the international blue carbon agenda. While it has over 22% of world’s mangroves, Indonesia is also facing rapid mangrove degradation.
Overcoming Early Career Barriers to Interdisciplinary Climate Change Research
None are likely better suited to interdisciplinary research than those early in their scientific careers, and the next generation of scientists whom they are today teaching, advising, and mentoring.
Evolution of Post-Transcriptional Gene Regulation
“DNA makes RNA makes protein”? After transcription, mRNAs undergo a series of ‘post‐transcriptional’ regulatory processes to be finally translated into functional proteins. Changes in these regulatory processes are important driving forces underlying the evolution of phenotypic differences across different species.
The Risks of using Waterbodies to Heat and Cool Infrastructure
Waterbodies such as oceans, lakes, rivers and aquifers represent large reserves of thermal energy, which can be used to heat or cool nearby buildings and infrastructure.
Droplet Microfluidics for High-Throughput Screening of Disease Biomarkers
The potential of rapid diagnostics and screening has led to burgeoning interest in droplets, as it is increasingly used to detect novel disease biomarker targets.
Mass-Production of Flexible Solar Cells: Challenges in Durability and Environmental Impact
If scientists’ dreams came true, everyday items such as mobile devices, clothing and vehicles would be equipped with flexible solar cells.
Structure–Function Comparisons and Implications for Genome Editing
Although the overall functionality of Cas9 and Cas12a is remarkably similar, their distinct structural features result in distinct molecular mechanisms that impact their activities.
Analyzing Potential Clean Energy Technology–Fuel Cells–with Microscopic Techniques
The principle of a ceramic fuel cell and the most important microscopic techniques for analyzing these devices are presented.
