New additions to the Team of Nanochemistry! Welcome Laura, Peter and Melanie!
Welcome to one of our guest columns, where active researchers can share their views on topics relevant to materials science. As Professor Geoffrey Ozin from the University of Toronto reminisces on helping to develop a nanoscience degree program, he ponders on our need for nanoscientists.

Researchers from Japan and Canada have produced the first ever solar cell containing an integrated 3D silicon photonic crystal. The cell is based on an intrinsic silicon layer with an inverse opal structure — a 3D photonic crystal with an omnidirectional photonic bandgap — sandwiched between n- and p-doped crystalline silicon layers. The cell traps light and prolongs the lifetime of charge carriers, thus reducing leakage current and improving the cell’s fill factor.

Welcome to one of our first guest columns, where active researchers can share their views on topics relevant to materials science. To start us off, we invited Professor Geoffrey Ozin of the University of Toronto to share his honest opinion on the current state of nanoscience research. He took up the challenge and provided us with two inaugural articles. Here, he shares his views on the immense amount of reported nanomaterials: Is the Nano Bubble About to Burst?
