Functional composites and structures are essential to the creation of next-generation technologies and cultures in the fourth industrial revolution. Advances in this area will promote human welfare by overcoming global energy and environmental crises and climate change. In addition, new knowledge in this field will facilitate innovative advancements in living necessities, mobile devices, sporting goods, transportation (land, marine, and aerospace), energy and environmental applications, and will aid in the creation of a variety of new competitive industries.
Superconductor Science and Technology™ is an international multidisciplinary journal for papers on all aspects of applied superconductivity. The coverage includes theories of superconductivity, the basic physics of superconductors, the relation of microstructure and growth to superconducting properties, the theory of novel devices, and the fabrication, properties and applications of thin films and devices. It also encompasses the manufacture and properties of conductors, and their application in the construction of magnets and heavy current machines, together with enabling technology. Please note Superconductor Science and Technology does not consider purely theoretical papers; theoretical papers must be clearly linked to experiments reported either in the paper itself or in the current literature.
