This issue features some particularly striking cover artwork and a whole host of HOT articles.
The outside front cover from Kyubong Jo (Sogang University, Seoul) and David Schwartz (University of Wisconsin–Madison) describes their HOT article on elongating DNA molecules in nanochannels, where they achieve almost full contour length:
Nanochannel confinement: DNA stretch approaching full contour length
Yoori Kim, Ki Seok Kim, Kristy L. Kounovsky, Rakwoo Chang, Gun Young Jung, Juan J. dePablo, Kyubong Jo and David C. Schwartz
The inside front cover features work by Rajeev Ram (MIT) et al. on their device for automated microscale continuous culture experiments:
Microfluidic chemostat and turbidostat with flow rate, oxygen, and temperature control for dynamic continuous culture
Kevin S. Lee, Paolo Boccazzi, Anthony J. Sinskey and Rajeev J. Ram
