Be sure to check out the April issue of Nat Chem Eng. And stay tuned for our upcoming Focus issue on 'robotics and automation' in May!

A great opportunity to work with a great team!

I am biased, of course, but I think this one is an important read. And it's free to access for two weeks!

Check out our April Editorial overviewing membrane-based separations! The discussion is far from complete, e.g., we didn't touch on specific adsorption (yet!), but we begin the discussion by highlighting two recent exciting works in our April issue.

A really interesting read from Dieter Braun and colleagues. We'll have more to say on our desire at Nature Chemical Engineering to publish more works in several areas of applied (bio)physics, but for now enjoy the highlight! You can find the original paper here: nature.com/articles/s4156…

Many desired reactions lack catalytic solutions. Co-optimizing membrane–catalyst functionalities at molecular level could improve performance. New article in Nature Chemical Engineering (Michigan Chemical Engineering) nature.com/articles/s4428… examine the integration strategies, focusing on shale-gas conversion.
