β¦ Synopsis
Each week, Advanced Materials brings you a Review of a cutting-edge topic in materials science, accompanied by a number of short Communications. This issue, however, is different. For the first time, we have selected eight review articles written by leaders in their respective fields to survey what we believe to be the state of the art in materials science in early 2010. From molecular electronics to biomaterials, solar cells to inorganic structures, we hope these reviews will provide an overview of some of the most exciting advances being made in materials science as we enter the second decade of the 20 th century.
