again, we can present a very exciting edition in- cluding a huge number of nanotech related news and company updates. So, we are happy to pu- blish news on a novel class of high-performance thermoelectric materials [ page 75], to give new insights from researchers at MIT who could enable a new generation of significantly more efficient power plants and desalination plants [ 62]. These are all real breaking nanotech news. In addition, there are a lot of new success stories on the fight against cancer [ 50, 61, and 72].
