Hi Stuart — Feel free to be pedantic whenever necessary! I looked at the article and now see what the problem is. When you look at the bottom to see who wrote the editorial content of the piece, Mauro’s name is at the end. It is a bit confusing if you’re moving fast. Thanks for the clarification. –Christine

Sorry to be pedantic about this, but regarding the feature, Mauro was simply one of the contributors, just like the other 12. The feature was put together by the editors, who were also responsible for the introductory comments.

Hi Christine,

From their website.. “Like the other Nature titles, Nature Nanotechnology has no external editorial board. Instead, all editorial decisions are made by a team of full-time professional editors”. follow the link for some background information on the editiorial team.

The editor is Peter Rodgers. In keeping with Nature’s policy about these things, he’s a full time, professional science journalist rather than a working scientist, though he’s a PhD physicist (quantum optics if I remember right). His last job was as editor of “Physics World”, the trade rag of UK physicists (much like the USA’s Physics Today, only more nicely designed).

[...] Eoin Clancy of Newcastle University points out that the issue also includes a set of definitions and commentary from various nano researchers, including Eric Drexler, put together by Mauro Ferrari. Link to Source [...]
