I have been heartened over recent weeks by the many nurses and healthcare staff who have led the care of those caught up in the terrorist attacks in London and Manchester, as well as the catastrophic fire in London's Grenfell Tower.

Replication: Needed Now More Than Ever.

Organic Photovoltaics: More than Ever, an Interdisciplinary Field

Despite the growing interest and rapid advancement of alternative photovoltaic (PV) technologies such as perovskite based PV devices, we still believe that organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices have a significant potential for stable, low-cost solar power generation. As a matter of fact, Heliatek announced a new organic photovoltaic world record efficiency of 13.2% in the beginning of February 201...

[Generalists are needed more than ever].

15 If today you want to keep up with basic and clin‐ ical research, you need to concentrate on a very small field and reach tremendous depths in this very field. And, actually, life is too short to also accumulate the knowledge necessary to do mean‐ ingful scientific work even on closely related top‐ ics. Hence, specialization is inevitable not only in research; it was a prerequisite for the de...

Clostridium difficile--more difficult than ever.

Copyright © 2008 Massachusetts Medical Society. In 1935, Hall and O’Toole first isolated a gram-positive, cytotoxinproducing anaerobic bacterium from the stool of healthy neonates.1 They named it Bacillus difficilis to reflect the difficulties they encountered in its isolation and culture. We now face the opposite problem of being unable to contain the growth and spread of the same bacterium, n...
