Advanced Electronic Materials is an interdisciplinary forum for peer-reviewed, high-quality, high-impact research in the fields of materials science, physics, and engineering of electronic and magnetic materials. It includes research on physics and physical properties of electronic and magnetic materials, spintronics, electronics, device physics and engineering, micro- and nano-electromechanical systems, and organic electronics, in addition to fundamental research.
"Earlier this year, we announced that we would be launching a new open access journal, Heliyon, publishing sound science across all disciplines. We’re excited to tell you about the next phase of this journey, as we launch the journal platform and open for submissions."
Jordi Faraudo from ICMAB is involved in this new journal as a member of the Editorial Board.
L’interès general per a promoure la paritat de gènere a la ciència i la tecnologia a la Comunitat Europea comença als anys 80 i culmina l’any 1999 amb la formació del grup de Hèlsinki amb l’objectiu d’examinar la situació de les dones a la ciència a 30 països.
