Congratulations to the Winner of the 2024 Journal of Materials Chemistry Lectureship

21 Nov 2024

Recently, the winner of the 2024 Journal of Materials Chemistry Lectureship was announced as Dr. Raphaële Clément (University of California, Santa Barbara). The annual award was established in 2010 and honors early-career researchers who have made a significant contribution to the field of materials chemistry. After receiving nominations from the global research community, each nomination was assessed with help from the journals’ Editorial and Advisory Boards, with the final selection made by the Editors-in-Chief and Executive Editor.

Dr. Clément will receive £1,000 to cover travel and accommodation costs to attend and present at a leading international meeting, free RSC membership for one year, an invitation to contribute an article to one of the Journal of Materials Chemistry journals, and a complimentary cover for the issue in which the article appears.

We would also like to highlight the two runners-up for the award, Dr. Maxx Arguilla (University of California, Irvine) and Dr. Phillip Milner (Cornell University), who the journals have also recognized for their impressive contributions to materials chemistry.

Nominations for the 2025 RSC Prizes are Now Open

31 Oct 2024

Each year, the RSC recognizes outstanding members of the chemical community through the RSC Prizes, which distinguish exceptional groups, teams, and individuals for a variety of accomplishments. While some prizes are limited to those living in the UK or Ireland, there are over 20 prizes open to those elsewhere in the world.

Nominations are now open for the 2025 RSC Prizes, and will close 17:00 GMT (12:00 EST) on Tuesday, January 14th, 2025.

To highlight three categories of prizes:

Horizon Prizes: recognize a group, team or collaboration who are opening up new directions and possibilities in their field, making discoveries and innovations that push the boundaries of science. Teams can be any size, from a small research group to a multi-institution, multi-national collaboration, and self-nomination is permitted.
Research & Innovation Prizes: recognize exceptional individuals who are advancing the chemical sciences, working in academia and industry. We have open prizes with no career-related eligibility criteria in multiple scientific fields. Alongside this we also have the Centenary Prizes for Chemistry and Communication (up to 3 prizes available), which recognize outstanding scientists who are also exceptional communicators.
Inclusion & Diversity Prize: recognises team or individual whose work is has had impact in improving the accessibility, inclusivity, and diversity of the chemical science community

Read the First 10th Anniversary Reflection Article in Materials Horizons

05 Mar 2024

As part of celebrating their 10th anniversary, Materials Horizons will be publishing a series of Reflection articles from researchers who published during the first year of the journal’s existence. In these articles, researchers will reflect on their first publication in Materials Horizons and discuss how their published work has impacted the field at large, and how the field has progressed over the last decade.

The first of these articles how now been published from Prof. Vincent Rotello (University of Massachusetts Amherst), where he discusses his 2013 publication, “Protein coronas suppress the hemolytic activity of hydrophilic and hydrophobic nanoparticles.”

Click here to read Prof. Rotello’s reflections on his work from the inaugural issue of Materials Horizons, and how his exploration of nanoparticle hyodrophobicty and the role of protein coronas contributed to the field of nanomedicine.
