  • Materials Science and Engineering is an interdisciplinary field incorporating chemistry, physics, and engineering. Driven by breakthroughs in both theory and experiments, materials science and engineering thrives on a deeply interdisciplinary approach and extensive collaborations with industry. Progress in materials science and engineering enables the tools to address critical global problems, bridging areas in nanotechnology, biotechnology, information technology, energy, and life sciences. Nearly every new technological invention is built on the hard work and innovation of materials scientists and engineers, who have made great contributions to investigate properties of materials, understand the structure of matter, and initiate versatile approaches to tackle practical issues in the society in their labs. In the 21st century, we are facing more challenges than ever before, and the interdisciplinary skillset of materials scientists and engineers is critical to developing solutions.

    We are proud to announce the launch of Materials Lab, a dedicated open access journal covering all fields relevant to materials science and engineering. We will build an impactful peer-reviewed journal delivering cutting-edge progress in materials science and engineering carried out in “Materials Lab”. Materials Lab will publish creative concepts, challenging issues, innovative applications, and critical perspectives emerging in materials science and engineering. Materials Lab will enable authors who are enthusiastic about open access and/or mandated to publish in fully open access journals to share their remarkable findings.

    To ensure that Materials Lab attracts and selects the highest quality papers, we have appointed the following top scientists and engineers from a broad variety of research fields to the Executive Advisory Board.

    ● Bob Slade, University of Surrey, UK

    ● Cyrille Boyer, University of New South Wales, Australia

    ● Douglas B. Chrisey, Tulane University, USA

    ● Huijun Zhao, Griffith University, Australia

    ● Jiaqi Huang, Beijing Institute of Technology, China

    ● Kanishka Biswas, Jawarharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR), India

    ● Nita Dragoe, Université Paris-Saclay, France

    ● Nieves Casañ Pastor, "Institut de Ciencia de Materials de Barcelona, CSIC Campus UAB", Spain

    ● PengLi Wang, Queen's University, Canada

    ● Samuel Mao, UC Berkeley, USA

    ●Terry W.J. Steele, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore

    ● Yanlin Song, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China

    ● Yong Lei, Technical University of Ilmenau, Germany

    ●Zhiyong Tang, National Center for Nanoscience and Technology, China

    We are an experienced, international editorial team and will run the journal in our best in-house editorial tradition, striving to make Materials Lab the journal of choice for your top-quality, open access publications.

    The journal is now open for submission at: http://matlab.labapress.com/matlab/.

    We would be happy to receive your input and comments at matlab@labapress.com. On behalf of the whole editorial team, We are looking forward to reading your top papers.
