Thousands vote in cover gallery competition
31 January 2007
One lucky voter won this iPod |
"We are delighted that so many readers wished to celebrate one of the creative sides of RSC Publishing" commented David Riddick, Production Manager. "The total number of votes cast demonstrates the popularity of the competition. I can envisage this becoming an annual event!"
Details of the winning cover from each journal can be seen below. Congratulations go to Susmita De in India, who was the winner of the iPod.

The cover image depicts a cellulose based superabsorbent hydrogel produced through environmentally sustainable processes. A heterogeneous TiO2 photo-catalysed process has been proposed for the detoxification (and a possible re-use) of washing waste waters produced from the hydrogel preparation.

Atomic force microscope image (800x800 nm) showing artificial 2D matrix self-assembled from DNA nanostructures (long rails) and antibody proteins (ladder rungs between rails). The dimerized single-chain antibody was selected for binding to a specific stem-loop aptamer displayed many times on the DNA nanostructures. Image created by Hanying Li.
