Nature Materials web focus: 25 years of photonic crystals

This year marks a quarter of a century since the birth of the field of photonic crystals. Largely stimulated by the early works of Eli Yablonovitch and Sajeev John, it has become a major area at the interface of photonics and condensed matter physics. This web focus explores the early history of the field, the challenges that had to be overcome before it gained broader acceptance, the wider scientific and technological impact it has had, as well as the new directions it is now moving in.

Nature Chemistry: Web focus – Site-Selective Reactions

Reaction methodologies that can selectively target one reactive site among many that are functionally similar within a complex molecule could significantly improve synthetic efficiency and help in the identification of new drug leads. A collection of articles in this focus highlight some of the latest advances in this area, explaining the complementary approaches taken by researchers to this challenge.
