The Best of Two Cells: Hybrid Membrane Coatings
A new hybrid nanomaterial combines membranes from multiple cell types, enabling the fabrication of membrane-coated nanoparticles with an increased number of functionalities.
Video Interview: Christopher Barner-Kowollik
Have you ever wondered what the role of an advisory board member of a scientific journal looks like? To find out, we talked to Christopher Barner-Kowollik from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology KIT and the Queensland University of Technology.
Mimic the Cell Membrane: Smart Capsules
Membrane permeability of the capsules can be changed by physiological pH and temperature stimuli, which allows for the uptake and sustained release of protein mimics.
Location-Specific Compositional Control of 1D Materials
This old dog has a new trick: an adapted lithography technique allows precise variation of the composition of 1D materials during fabrication.
A Bright Future for Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence Compounds
Thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF)-type compounds have potential to become high-efficiency-solid-state lighting technologies in the future.

March’s Advanced Healthcare Materials covers
Versatile Styrene Conversion Catalyst Also Captures CO2
It reads like the plot of an action movie: against all odds, an unassuming catalyst avoids deactivation and captures its target with record effectiveness.
Point and Shoot: Nanofiber Manufacturing using Pull Spinning
The group of Kit Parker at Harvard University has developed a new system that uses point-and-shoot manufacturing to rapidly produce aligned nanofibers.
Supportive Soft Tissue Manufacture
A manufacturing method is unveiled that uses a supportive material that is self-healing, and enables the production of soft materials in a supported and suspended manner.
