Since 2012, Advanced Healthcare Materials has been bringing you the latest breakthroughs in biomedical materials science with a strong focus on improving human health, and it will continue to do so in 2019. We therefore have launched virtual issues on five hot topics...
How Can We Prepare for Future Risks from Tropical Cyclones?
A better understanding of past tropical cyclones in a changing climate will provide key insights that can help mitigate impacts of tropical cyclones on vulnerable communities.
A Foam Bath for Ores
A new EU project explores innovative technologies and concepts for recovering ultrafine particles of raw materials.
To All-Silicon Optoelectronic Integration and Beyond: Chip-Based Silicon Light-Emitting Devices
A new silicon-based light-emitting diode (LED) is developed, and provides a solution in the manufacturing of better LEDs.
Raman Spectroscopy Guidance System Integrated with a Brain Biopsy Needle
A team of Canadian researchers developed and clinically tested a navigation‐guided fiberoptic Raman probe that allows surgeons to interrogate brain tissue in situ at the tip of the biopsy needle prior to tissue removal.
Making Precision Medicine the Norm
Customizing treatments to meet individual patients’ needs is the future of healthcare.
Generating and Working with Drosophila Cell Cultures
Challenges and opportunities to improve the state of Drosophila cell cultures.
Advancing Predictive Understanding of River Corridor Exchange
Unifying river corridor science through systematic re-evaluation of methods in the context of broader conceptual models and quantitative theory.
Polymer for Delivery of Genetic Material
A novel polymer delivery system for gene therapy slows cancer growth.
Why the Social Cost of Carbon Will Always Be Disputed
A key reason is that the unique complexity of the Earth system, and the unprecedentedness of likely climate change over the next century, mean the economic value of future climate damage cannot be estimated by normal scientific methods.
