TABLE OF CONTENTS October 2015 Volume 10, Issue 10 Editorial Thesis Research Highlights News and Views Perspective Letters Articles In The Classroom Subscribe   Facebook   RSS   Recommend to library   Twitter   Advertisement Nature Energy: Call for Papers Launching in January 2016, Nature Energy is now open for submissions and inviting high-quality research from across the natural and social sciences. The journal will be dedicated to exploring all aspects of the on-going discussion of energy provision; from the generation and storage of energy, to its distribution and management, the needs and demands of the different actors, and the impacts that energy technologies and policies have on societies. Submit your next research paper to the journal.     Editorial Top Fifty years on   p825 doi:10.1038/nnano.2015.244 Investment in science and innovation flourishes in Singapore as the country celebrates its golden jubilee.
