Materials news and jobs
Lorna gained her PhD from the University of Durham and went on to carry out post-doctoral research at the University of Patras and the Helsinki University of Technology, spending almost a year as a visiting researcher at the University of Western Ontario. Her research focussed on theoretical studies of soft matter, most recently in a computational biophysics group. She has worked for Wiley for more than five years. As the is Deputy Editor of Advanced Healthcare Materials, Lorna was responsible for the launch of this new journal in January 2012 and has recently be appointed to be Deputy Editor of Advanced Materials (ISI 2011 IF 13.877) too.

Nanocarriers for encapsulation, delivery, release, and accumulation of drugs are reported in a Special Issue of Advanced Materials.

Nanomaterials have so much to offer – the sooner we uncover their interactions with biological systems and the mechanisms behind them, the sooner we can apply nanomaterials to safe, effective, advanced technologies. That’s why this special issue on Nanotoxicology in Small was just too big to publish as a single issue…

The 660 nm laser diode has an optical output of max. 130 mW and an almost round beam profile.
