EDITORIAL
----------------------
SURFACES AREN'T SUPERFICIAL p1
The 2007 Nobel prizes in both physics and chemistry stem from
investigations into the properties of materials, but they share more
in common than that.

BEFRIENDING YOUR COMPETITORS pp3 - 5
'Globalization' is familiar in the context of the international
expansion of corporations, but what does it mean when applied to
research and education? Nature Materials examines the visions of
globalization from the Provost of Georgia Institute of Technology, the
President of California Institute of Technology and the Director of
New Business Development of Solvay.

PHOTONICS: METAMATERIALS ADD AN EXTRA DIMENSION pp7 - 8
In a major departure from their humble origins as ultrathin
monolayers, optical metamaterials have now advanced to three-
dimensional bulk media exhibiting both electric and magnetic activity.

SURFACE CHEMISTRY: MUSSEL POWER pp8 - 9
The adhesive proteins secreted by mussels are the inspiration behind a
versatile approach to the surface modification of a wide range of
inorganic and organic materials, resulting in the fabrication of
multifunctional coatings for a variety of applications.

MOLECULAR ELECTRONICS: A SLUDGE-TO-DIAMOND STORY pp10 - 12
Unearthed after millions of years, diamondoid molecules are being
studied for their possible use in single-molecule transistors, for
field-emission displays and for their downright fascinating electronic
properties.

CORRELATED OXIDES: SLIDING ELECTRONS TAKE CHARGE pp12 - 13
The observation of sliding charge-density waves challenges the
established interpretation of the insulator-metal transition in
manganites.

FUEL CELLS: PROTON CHANNELS pp13 - 14
The structure of Nafion, the polymer electrolyte membrane used in some
fuel cells, has been extensively debated over recent decades. Now, a
model reveals the nanoscale arrangement that could explain the
excellent transport properties of the material.
