Fundamental Plasma Physics provides an open access forum for articles that address fundamental aspects of plasma physics research. Fundamental articles can be theoretical, numerical, or experimental. A contribution is considered fundamental if it advances knowledge on a topic at the frontier of plasma physics research and has broad interest within the plasma physics community. The great variety of plasmas that are in nature or produced in the laboratory make plasma science a truly multidisciplinary field. The ambition of FPP is to bring together the various plasma physics communities by focusing on methodologies, theoretical and numerical methods, experimental research, and innovative diagnostics, that further understanding of the physics of plasmas.Submitted articles must be original, of broad interest within the plasma physics community, and meet one or more of the following criteria:Initiate a new area of research or open a new line or research within an established area.Solve, or present significant progress towards solving a critical problem.Propose innovative techniques or methodologies having significant impact.Report on the discovery or invention of new plasma phenomena or new plasma applications.FPP will publish (i) Regular articles, (ii) Letters, and (iii) Reviews and Perspectives.A Regular article is a full-length article, divided in sections; it may contain appendixes and supplemental material.A Letter is a short communication (up to six pages in FPP style, not including title, affiliations, abstract, and references; however, no stringent limit will be enforced; a letter should not be divided in sections). It must contain pivotal results that are likely to have an important impact on plasma physics research at large. Submitted Letters will receive expedited peer review and accelerated publication.Reviews and Perspectives are articles submitted by members of the plasma physics community, that highlight open problems and aspects of relevance in published research and/or indicate potential developments in the field.Upon submitting an article, the corresponding author will provide a statement explaining in which way the article meets FPP publication standards in terms of broad interest, as well and with regards to the other four criteria indicated above. The corresponding author will also indicate the article type and which journal section the article belongs to.The Section Editor will take an early decision whether to initiate the evaluation process. If the decision is positive, the Section Editor will seek two anonymous referee reports. At least one of the two reports must carry a detailed assessment of the article in terms of its originality, soundness, and potential impact, while the other report may be limited to the question of broad interest. The Section Editor may also decide not to start the evaluation process for articles that she/he considers not suitable for publication in FPP. In any case, all efforts will be made to ensure a fast evaluation process.Authors of rejected manuscripts have the right to appeal to the FPP Editor-in-Chief in case they feel that their manuscript has not received a fair treatment.

An International Open Access Journal Devoted to the Advancements in Design & Application of Hybrid Materials & Technologies Hybrid Advances is an international and interdisciplinary scholarly open access journal. It publishes special content, either related to research presented at scientific events or invited contributions to thematic special issues.Hybrid materials are assembled organic-inorganic materials at the nanometer or molecular level that may be chemically bonded or physically blended. Nanometer to micrometer scales make more homogeneous materials, exhibiting improved characteristics to the initial phases and even novel properties, not be confused with simply combining two new components; these may offer advantageous performances relative to either of the non-hybrid counterparts, and could bridge the gap between ceramics and polymers. On the other hand, Hybrid technologies use a combination of conventional and unconventional technologies (at least two, but of different types) having the goal of optimization - and thus achieving more efficient systems.The research & review articles in the journal Hybrid Advances will cover the border-area of interests formed by integrating the nine companion journals, which represent cutting-edge topics contributing to a better understanding of intercalated bulk & stratified materials, phenomena at the interface, solid multicomponent materials at nanoscale, self-assembling nanostructures, solid blends & matrix inclusions, external & internal surfaces, homogeneity vs. heterogeneity consequences of functional materials and of their formed phases; also, the journal focuses on developing novel combined technologies necessary to the design, fabrication & employment of the emergent systems & devices.The journal aims for publishing on the advancements in design & application of hybrid materials & technologies, thus accommodating the following topics:Design of hybrid and composite materials, including: simulation, modelling and fabrication;Novel hybrid materials & hybrid structures, multi-functionality and the study of the relation between structure, properties and applications;Novel materials employed for advanced engineering applications, including: nanocomposites, green/eco-composites and energy hybrids such as supercapacitors, batteries, fuel cells, solar cells, solar stills, thermal systems, wind power systems, etc.;Synthesis and characterization of polymeric hybrid materials;Polymer-based hybrid composites in electronics, energy and space applications;Biomedical application of hybrid polymeric materials;Transport properties and engineering the interfaces within nanocomposite assemblies;Advanced hybrid methods for synthesis of hybrid materials for catalysis, electrocatalysis and photocatalysis; adsorption properties of porous media, clay minerals and (nano)composites;Nanofluids and hybrid phase change materials (PCM): concepts, design & applications;Materials with fillers and reinforcements at the nanoscale and microscale;Physical and chemical deposition and growth of multi-layered thin films; hybrid coating technologies and surface functionalization;2D and 3D assembly of hybrid materials;Device fabrication, hybrid semiconductors and surface nanotechnology;Building and fire retardant materials for construction industry;Surface and interfaces of hybrid biomaterials, biocompatible and dental materials; stimuli-response mechanisms and novel health-monitoring techniques;Advancements in the characterization and imaging techniques of hybrid materials;Novel category of hybrid functional materials, with thrilling properties like: electrical and thermal conductivity/insulation, thermoelectric, magnetic, optical, shape memory, ferroelectric, energy capture and storage, phase modifications, lubricating, etc.;Novel (hybrid) nanotechnologies including self-assembly, spinning, 3D printing, self-assembly and other emerging techniques are driving exciting developments in the field;Hybrid technologies in chemical engineering, biotechnology, life & natural sciences;Hybrid technologies in microelectronics, automation and renewable energy engineering;Hybrid technologies in aeronautics and automotive industry.Hybrid Advances is a companion title to a group of 9 respected journals from Surface Science, Solid State Science and Materials Science & Engineering, which naturally blend together into the concept of hybrid materials & technologies:Surface Science Progress in Surface ScienceSurfaces and InterfacesApplied Surface Science AdvancesSolid State Science Progress in Solid State ChemistryJournal of Physics and Chemistry of SolidsSolid State SciencesMaterials Science & Engineering Progress in Materials ScienceApplied Materials TodayComposites Science and Technology
