This issue of The Chemist presents four research articles and one non-research article.  Two of the four research articles deal with nanomaterials.

The study by Kumar, Nair, Justinvictor, and Thomas presents the structural and optical properties of ZnO nanorods prepared by an aqueous solution route. 

Abraham, Resmi, Mary, Panicker, and Harikumar describe vibrational spectroscopic and molecular docking studies of 2,6-dichlorobenzyl alcohol using Gaussian09.

Shiney and Joseph report electroanalytical studies on the interaction and corrosion inhibition of a triazine dimer on metallic copper in hydrochloric acid.

Jayakrishnan, Pradyumman, and Ramesan report on the research on the thermal and electrical properties of polyindole/magnetite nanocomposites at various concentrations of Fe3O4 nanoparticles. 

In the public understanding section, the reprinted article by Frankel deals with chemical risks and public perception of chemists.
