Issue 8 of Green Chemistry is now available to read online.
The front cover this month (pictured left) features work by Rafael Luque and co-workers from Cordoba, Spain. In their work, they report a proof of concept of laser-assisted heterogeneously catalysed processes at room temperature using silica supported gold nanoparticles.

The inside front cover this month (pictured left) features work by Avelino Corma and co-workers from Valencia, Spain. In their work, they show optically pure chiral γ-lactone (S)-γ-hydroxymethyl-α,β-butenolide, which is a highly-valuable chemical, being achieved in good yields by the oxidation of levoglucosenone with H2O2 and transition metal-containing zeolites.
