Journal of Physical Chemistry CThe hunt for electron holes Hydrogen production by solar water splitting in photoelectrochemical cells has long been considered the holy grail of sustainable energy research. Iron oxide is a promising electrode material. An international team of researchers led by Empa, the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology, have now gained in-depth insights into the electronic structure of an iron oxide electrode -- while it was in operation. This opens up new possibilities for an affordable hydrogen production from solar energy. Contact: Artur Braun

A new take on the Midas touch -- changing the color of gold Red gold, green gold -- a ground-breaking initiative has found a way of changing the color of the world's most iconic precious metal. A University of Southampton team have discovered that by embossing tiny raised or indented patterns onto the metal's surface they can change the way it absorbs and reflects light -- ensuring our eyes don't see it as "golden" in color at all.

Biointerphases Nanofibrillar cellulose film to ease performing medical tests Researchers at Aalto University in Finland have succeeded in developing a durable and affordable nanofibrillar cellulose film platform to support medical testing. New environmentally friendly, reliable nanofibrillar cellulose platforms are more diverse than plastic films. New film can be made, for instance, hydrophobic, hydrophilic and the electric charge can be changed. This will enhance the possibility of conducting thousands of different medical tests at home or in physicians' receptions instead of waiting for results from laboratories.

Advanced MaterialsManufacturing complex 3-D metallic structures at nanoscale made possible The fabrication of many objects, machines, and devices around us rely on the controlled deformation of metals by industrial processes such as bending, shearing, and stamping. But is this technology transferrable to nanoscale? Scientists from Aalto University in Finland and the University of Washington in the US have just demonstrated this to be possible. By combining ion processing and nanolithography they have managed to create complex three-dimensional structures at nanoscale. Contact: Khattiya Chalapat
