Faraday Discussions Blog

We are pleased to announce the publication of Faraday Discussion 161 Lipids & Membrane Biophysics.

Take a look at the volume today

In the volume you can find all the papers and exciting discussion from the conference held at Burlington House, London, UK in September 2012.

Here are just some of the highlights:

Faraday Discussions are a unique opportunity to discuss your work with leading researchers in developing areas of physical chemistry, biophysical chemistry and chemical physics. The latest Impact Factor is 5.0.

All delegates have the opportunity to present their views on the Discussion papers and their own new research. All the presented papers and the discussion are published together in the Faraday Discussions volume.

Don’t miss out – find out more and take a look at future Faraday Discussions.
