Ultrathin Inorganic Nanowires

By Ludovico Cademartiri and Geoffrey A Ozin

Advanced Materials cover graphic illustration of a high resolution transmission electron micrograph image of ultrathin bismuth sulphide nanowires with unprecedented diameter of only 1.6 nm, a size that bridges the fuzzy regime between molecular and nanoscopic depicts the dawn of the beginning of something new and exciting in materials chemistry and nanochemistry, emerging fields that never tire of reinventing themselves.

“Advanced Materials has compiled a special reprint issue, The Best of Advanced Materials, which contains a selection of their “most advanced” recently published articles.

After considering the most active areas of materials science, feedback from reviewers, and the citations and full-text downloads for almost 1000 contributions, 12 articles were chosen.

The broad scope of the journal is evident from the final collection, which highlights some of the most important topics in materials science, for example, nanostructured materials, photovoltaics, energy storage and batteries, and bionanotechnology…”

The brand new undergraduate textbook Concepts of Nanochemistry is launched by Wiley!! Read the news!!

Dr. Gudrun Walter, Publisher of the Wiley-VCH book program is pictured here with Ozin. “We are looking forward to the response of students and teachers to the book as it is an exciting new way or helping people learn the beauty and power of these materials” she said. Ozin added “This is a book for thinking students. It was a challenge to write and it is intended to challenge the readers.“ The book is co-authored by Ludovico Cademartiri of Harvard University.
