A science feas tin Philadelphia

摘要

It was an action-packed few days at the ACS Fall 2008 National Meeting in Philadelphia. The first print issue of Energy & Environmental Science generated a lot of interest, with its impressive range of articles on solar cells, hybrid fuel cells, hydrogen storage, biofuel production, sustainable energy, and more. Integrative Biology and Metallomics, the two new journals launching in 2009, were in the spotlight and grabbedrnthe attention of many visitors to the RSC booth. RSC Publishing staff were on hand as people signed up for journal e-alerts, hoping to win a solar-powered charger for mobile devices. The book sale proved popular, and authors John Emsley (Molecules of Murder) and Stephen Beckett (The Science ofChocolate) signed copies of their recent books for an appreciative audience.
