The front cover of issue 10 features artwork by Seishi Shimizu from the University of York. Seishi challenges the consensus of statistical thermodynamics by combining the rigorous Kirkwood–Buff theory of solution with the classical isodesmic model of caffeine association.
The front cover of issue 9 features artwork by Hongxin Wang from Jiangnan University. With his colleagues Wang investigates the components of a new resource food in China, peony seed oil (PSO) by GC-MS (gas chromatography–mass spectrometry), its inhibitory effects on carbohydrate hydrolyzing enzymes in vitro and its anti-diabetic effects on mice induced by streptozotocin (STZ).
