We are delighted to announce that the first issue of Materials Discovery is now freely available to download on ScienceDirect.
This inaugural issue of Materials Discovery brings together a set of papers that represent the full scale of diversity in the modalities of materials science and engineering research; ranging from computational to experimental work; from inorganic to biological materials systems and from perspectives at the atomistic and molecular scales behavior to macro-scale engineering performance. Along with this cross-cutting taxonomy of contributions, all the papers address some aspect of data analytics and information science in a novel and unique way.
The journal aims to utilize all aspects of the emerging field of Materials Informatics including the understanding of the nature of data collection, interpretation of data, and advancing the understanding of the mechanisms governing materials behavior underlying the design and discovery of new materials.
Articles in the first issue include
- Krishna Rajan, Starting the pathway of Materials Discovery, Materials Discovery
- Daniel M. Packwood, Kazuto Akagi, Mitsuo Umetsu, Identification of peptide adsorbates for strong nanoparticle–nanoparticle binding by lattice protein simulations
- Anuraag Boddupalli, Kaitlin M. Bratlie, Multimodal imaging of harmonophores and application of high content imaging for early cancer detection
- Olga Wodo, Jaroslaw Zola, Balaji Sesha Sarath Pokuri, Pengfei Du, Baskar Ganapathysubramanian, Automated, high throughput exploration of process–structure–property relationships using the MapReduce paradigm
- Takashi Takeda, Naoto Hirosaki, Shiro Funahashi, Rong-Jun Xie, New phosphor discovery by the single particle diagnosis approach
- Paul J. McGinn, Combinatorial electrochemistry – Processing and characterization for materials discovery
- M. Golkaram, Adri C.T. van Duin, Revealing graphene oxide toxicity mechanisms: A reactive molecular dynamics study
These inaugural papers provide evidence of the breadth and depth of analysis of the papers Materials Discovery is seeking from the community. For more information or to submit a paper, please visit the journal homepage.
