Hot paper: Preliminary evaluation of new intrinsically radiopaque hydrogels for replacing the nucleus pulposus
Erik Boelen and colleagues report two new synthetic hydrogels which have been specifically designed as fully radiopaque prosthetic nucleus biomaterials.
Hot paper: Novel fluorine-containing X-branched oligophenylenes: structure-hole blocking property relationships
Four new compounds that are effective as hole-blockers in blue emitting organic devices have been synthesised by Zhong Hui Li.
Hot paper: A new class of light-fast oxonol dyes: organic-glass forming salts of oxonol anions and 4,4'-bipyridinium cations
A marked improvement in light-fastness of anionic oxonol dyes has been achieved by Inagaki and colleagues.
Hot paper: Intralayer molecular orientation in the B1 phase of a prototype bent-core molecule P-6-O-PIMB studied by X-ray microbeam diffraction
Takanishi and colleagues have investigated a bent-core molecule using X-ray microbeam diffraction.

Hot paper: The longest oligothiophene ever examined by X-ray structure analysis
Molecular conformations and packing of the longest oligothiophene ever structurally characterized have been determined by Peter Bäuerle.
Hot paper: Kinetically controlled formation of a novel nanoparticulate ZnS with mixed cubic and hexagonal stacking
Nanoparticulate ZnS has been synthesized by Hengzhong Zhang. Control of defect microstructure may allow the use of nano-ZnS in new technological applications.
