About this journal
Programmable Materials
- ISSN: 2752-8073 (Online)
- Frequency: 1 volume per year
Programmable Materials is the first journal dedicated to publishing original research, review articles and case studies describing the latest developments in programmable materials from both academia and industry. Programmable materials are next-generation materials with the ability to change their physical properties in a programmable fashion, based upon user input or autonomous sensing or subject to stimuli. This journal aims to showcase research of the highest quality, while forging and strengthening links between communities across materials science, computer science and electronic, chemical, mechanical and robotics engineering. Topics will include (but are not limited to), underlying molecular or mesoscopic architecture, mechanisms and programming elements, system implementation, and system design and integration.
