The Center for Electron Nanoscopy’s Professor Jakob Birkedal Wagner highlights the strides being made in nanoscale imaging research

Professor Colin Suckling discusses heterocyclic chemistry research and how it makes a difference. Because I work on chemical biology and medicinal chemistry, most of the Special Reports that I have written deal with science on the interface of chemistry and biology. But in offering perspectives bedded in the field of...

Martin Warren, Professor of Biochemistry at the University of Kent and co-director of the Metals in Biology Network describes how a recent meeting of academic and industrial scientists helped to cross-fertilise research on the role of metals in the sustainable production of chemicals and the removal of pollutants.

Carbon capture and storage is a key player in the challenge to meet reduced emission targets by 2015, according to the Energy Technologies Institute (ETI)

The connecting theme of my contributions to AG publications is heterocyclic chemistry, which in my own work relates to drug discovery and medicinal chemistry, a field in which we have a number of successes in anti-infective compounds and anti-inflammatory compounds. Behind all this, however, lies the science and technology of...

Professor Samuel W French, at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, calls for collaborators on efforts to prevent alcoholic liver disease with the use of betaine The purpose of my current study is to investigate alcoholic hepatitis pathogenesis by utilising liver biopsies derived from a clinical trial consortium. The major goal is to...

Kylie Vincent, Holly Reeve and colleagues at Oxford University are working on ways to make greener chemicals, which with government funding could soon be used in industry We are working on greener ways to make chemicals that are used in medicines, food and cosmetics by using enzymes that are found...

Judith Shapiro, Policy and Communications Manager at the Carbon Capture and Storage Association outlines to AG what the focus needs to be for CCS in the upcoming months… CS has featured a number of times in AG and the last article was published just before all hell broke loose on...

Professor Neil Stansfield, Quantum Programme Strategic Lead at the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory, explains how new technologies such as cryogenics are making game-changing impacts in the defence sector… Traditional cryogenics has long had an important role in defence and security. A wide range of instruments for remote sensing require...

AG Editor, Laura Evans highlights new investments for UK science and what Minister for Science and Universities, Jo Johnson thinks a Brexit could mean for our status in this arena… The UK has developed some keystone discoveries in science, including: hydrogen by Henry Cavendish, and penicillin by Alexander Fleming, and...

Peter F. Kador, Ph.D., FARVO, College of Pharmacy, University of Nebraska and President and CEO, Therapeutic Vision, Inc. discusses antioxidant therapies.

Denise Caldwell, National Science Foundation’s Physics Division, looks at what the future holds for gravitational wave research

In the modern energy system, upwards of 10% of the total primary energy supply is expended to find, develop, extract, transform, and transport energy carriers to end-users 1. Some particularly challenging resources, such as heavy oil, require an even larger fractional expenditure for their extraction and processing. This energy...

Mika Järvinen Associate Professor at the Department of Energy Technology at Aalto University details how new technologies can further increase biomass potential Reducing fossil CO2 emissions in our energy systems has driven research to new ways of biomass conversion to form methane and bio-oil. Up to now, the technologies applied, gasification 1...

Only put in what you want to get out: Clare McDermott, from the Soil Association describes how an organic system keeps it natural… Organic is a term defined by law. Any food labelled as organic must meet a strict set of standards so even if produce has been grown organically, to...

The government has announced £43m funding for infrastructure and research development for plug-in vehicles... The government has set out plans to develop plug-in vehicle infrastructure across the UK. This will see £32m funding to support the development of chargepoints across the nation. Places such as homes, hospitals, train stations, and...

Dr Michèle Salmain from Université Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris gives an overview of the process involved in creating artificial enzymes Artificial enzymes or ‘artzymes’ are man-made constructs in which an active site is implanted within a protein host to endow it with a (new) catalytic activity. In this field,...

Transport is a sector that affects everyone, whether it be via train, catching a bus or driving through rush hour traffic. However, road transport is reportedly the second largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the EU after power generation
