Full Description
Advances in materials science and engineering redefine the boundaries of performance, durability, and functionality across practically all sectors of human activity. This special edition presents five carefully selected thematic areas that collectively reflect both the foundational and emerging innovations in modern materials research. It is our hope that it will serve as a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and graduate students seeking both a fundamental understanding and practical insights into the evolving landscape of materials science.
