An overview of the current edition of Angewandte Chemie
Angewandte Chemie 6/2011: Nano and the Rest
Water Repellent Transferable Graphene
The hydrophobic nature of transferable graphene oxide films can be tuned simply by changing pH and voltage
Improving Silicon Nanowires-Based Solar Cells
Understanding the origin of poor performance of silicon nanowires leads to improved efficiency of solar energy conversion
Macroscopic Invisibility Cloaks
Invisibility cloaks large enough to be “seen” by the human eye possible thanks to the birefringent nature of calcite crystals
Angewandte Author Profiles February
Axel Schulz, Annie Powell, Takeshi Kawase, and Nobuharu Iwasawa, are interviewed this month
New Material for Low-Cost Solar Electricity
New material specially designed for use in plastic solar cells brings low-cost solar electricity a step closer
Pfizer Announce R&D Cuts
R&D plant at Sandwich, UK, will close with the loss of 2,400 jobs
Nanoparticles as H2-Evolution Catalysts
Efficient generation of H2 with Pt nanoparticles depends on their size, shape and the rate of Pt–H bond formation
UV-Transparent Coating for Image Sensors
Image sensors in cell phones are partially color-blind so not suitable for spectroscopy – this may change with new transparent coating
Large Hadron Collider Run Extended
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will continue to collect data at 3.5 TeV until the end of 2012
