Device, a sister journal to Cell, is a monthly journal encompassing the applied research needed to make groundbreaking fundamental research into tomorrow's cutting-edge technology. The disciplines and expertise needed to build devices that positively impact human lives are diverse, and as such, Device will publish research in applied physics, computer science, chemistry, biology, engineering, and more as it applies to driving integrated, purpose-driven applications. Examples of topical areas of interest to the journal include but are by no means limited to:Water purificationEnergy harvesting and storageBiomedical devicesQuantum computers and photonic devices2D devices and materialsDevices meant for extreme and/or cryogenic conditionsHigh-performance and capacity memoryNanomaterialsSingle-crystal devicesHeterogeneous devicesLaboratory robotics and automationArtificial intelligence and machine learning models relevant to applied researchComputational physics and modeling as related to device developmentInternet of Things devicesFlexible and wearable electronicsA key focus is on the integration of materials and concepts at multiple levels across the device-development pipeline. Inventing a new material is only part of the work required to implement it in a practically useful setting, much like an electrolyte that performs best under vacuum in initial studies may not be the ideal structure once real-world conditions are required. This is to say that Device will prioritize the form as well as the function of the advances considered in submitted research.Device highlights real-world implications of the research published where appropriate. Authors are encouraged to highlight and amplify the implications, challenges, and opportunities of their work across the entire field and beyond. Device will purposefully explore the sustainability, accessibility, ethics, and socioeconomic implications of device research throughout the entire journal.Device provides full-length research articles, reviews, topical perspectives, paper previews, opinions, research-team highlights, and other editorial content of general interest to the global device research community. Additionally, Device enthusiastically supports the submission and citation of reproduction files, such as .stl files used by 3D printers. The journal aims to be the premier resource for researchers in both academia and industry, providing a platform of inspiration for the next generation of device researchers.
DRM is a leading international journal that publishes new fundamental and applied research on all forms of diamond, the integration of diamond with other advanced materials and development of technologies exploiting diamond. The synthesis, characterization and processing of single crystal diamond, polycrystalline films, nanodiamond powders and heterostructures with other advanced materials are encouraged topics for technical and review articles. In addition to diamond, the journal publishes manuscripts on the synthesis, characterization and application of other related materials including diamond-like carbons, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and boron and carbon nitrides. Articles are sought on the chemical functionalization of diamond and related materials as well as their use in electrochemistry, energy storage and conversion, chemical and biological sensing, imaging, thermal management, photonic and quantum applications, electron emission and electronic devices.The International Conference on Diamond and Carbon Materials has evolved into the largest and most well attended forum in the field of diamond, providing a forum to showcase the latest results in the science and technology of diamond and other carbon materials such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, and diamond-like carbon. Run annually in association with Diamond and Related Materials the conference provides junior and established researchers the opportunity to exchange the latest results ranging from fundamental physical and chemical concepts to applied research focusing on the next generation carbon-based devices.Benefits to authors We also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.
