Seems like ResearchGate has had some formatting issues in the last week or so (maybe longer?).

From miso in space to infrared contact lenses, lots of #CoolScience published in Cell Press journals made the news this year.
Wrap up 2025 with us and check out some of the most talked-about Cell Press papers below!👇

Coming back from a fantastic few days exploring Belgium. Got a pal doing his PhD at KU Leuven, so took the opportunity to explore the surrounding cities and Christmas markets! 🎄🧇
Visited Gent, Leuven, Bruges and Brussels, not bad for my first trip to Belgium.

On a separate note, Tuesday evening was absolutely unbelievable…
Scotland qualified for their first World Cup in 28 years! (I was a mere toddler last time so have zero memories).
To experience that game in person in my hometown was just out of this world!

Big thanks for the invitation and to all involved in organising, and the Alchemists for hosting.
Great turn out from an array of undergrads and lovely catching up with some old pals and familiar faces!

Wonderful evening being back @School of Chemistry University of Glasgow for their Chemistry Alumni Panel!
We shared some insights in how our undergraduate degree led us to where we are now in our careers, 7 years on (crazy to acknowledge that!).

Working closely with the Matter Editor in Chief (Steve Cranford), the new Deputy Editor will have the unique opportunity to shape a prominent and vibrant journal, that also fits cohesively into the Matter and Cell Press journal portfolio.
Matter & Light by Cell Press aims to better serve researchers working at the materials/light interface (including photovoltaics, photocatalysis, photonics, luminescent and related materials).
We are seeking a Deputy Editor to help drive the launch of the journal and catalyse its development.
