Springer Nature launches 'Advanced Metamaterials,' a new open access journal focusing on medical, life science, and sensing applications

Springer Nature has announced the launch of 'Advanced Metamaterials,' a new open access journal dedicated to the rapidly expanding field of metamaterials. The journal will primarily publish articles on the medical, life science, and sensing applications of these artificial materials, distinguishing itself from existing publications that focus on mechanical properties. Metamaterials are engineered to manipulate electromagnetic radiation and acoustic waves, and to enhance mechanical properties, with applications ranging from advanced communications to sound isolation and energy harvesting.
