On the cover features work by Mats Larhed et al. at Uppsala University, Sweden, who describe in this highly topical review the use of controlled microwave heating in discovery chemistry to combat four of the most prevalent and serious infectious diseases: tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, malaria and hepatitis C.
This Perspective highlights the large number of diverse chemical transformations that can be accomplished using controlled and automated single-mode microwave heating.
