Towards more fundamental understanding in materials science
This is a draft of my editorial for Issue 1 of Advanced Functional Materials. I’d be interested in your thoughts: do we need more of a balance between application and understanding, and is this the right way to open that dialogue? Continue reading

Advanced Functional Materials 2010 Impact Factor: 8.5
The Impact Factors were released a couple of weeks ago, and my journal Advanced Functional Materials had a big jump, to nearly 8.5. Continue reading
Bioinspired materials: teeth design in rock-eating sea urchins
A team of University of Wisconsin — Madison scientists just published an article in Advanced Functional Materials on how the teeth of sea urchins work. These animals can burrow into solid rock with their teeth (the white bits at the center of the image). The teeth design has evolved so that they are self-sharpening so they don’t wear down.

Graphical RSS feeds for Wiley materials science journals
Last week Wiley launched its new online journal and books platform, Wiley Online Library, which replaces Wiley InterScience.
One of the best new features of Wiley Online Library for those of us who use RSS readers to keep up with journal publications is graphical RSS feeds. Finally, you can see the image along with the table of contents text and, for full papers, the abstract.
(If you’ve never used an RSS reader, think of it as an inbox for the internet. Instead of visiting each individual website or journal homepage, you get an update whenever something new is posted. I use it to keep track of new papers in 20+ journals, all in one window.)
I’ve collected the addresses for you below, so you can add them to your favorite RSS reader. I use Google Reader myself, so it’s just a matter of right-clicking a link below, select Copy link address, open Reader, click “Add a Subscription” in the top left, and paste in the feed address.
If you have any questions or suggestions for journals that I’ve missed, note them in the Comments!
