From atom-level materials engineering to global climate policy, from the neurology of addiction to the ecological role of apex predators, the latest Science Matters supplement brings together original research and expert insight shaping how we understand risk, survival and sustainability in the modern world
The third edition of Science Matters, The European’s popular supplement, is packed with original research, exclusive insight and policy relevance across materials engineering, climate, medicine and ecology, showing how discoveries at the smallest scales are reshaping responses to some of the largest challenges facing society.
At the centre of this special volume is an exclusive six-page cover story by Professor Konstantina Lambrinou of the University of Huddersfield, Nick Goossens of Empa and Matheus A. Tunes of Montanuniversität Leoben, taking readers inside frontier materials science where the building blocks of future nuclear systems, advanced energy technologies and deep-space exploration are being designed atom by atom.
