Broadening Horizons – Welcome to Advanced Theory and Simulations

Abstract

We are proud to present the inaugural issue of our new interdisciplinary premium journal Advanced Theory and Simulations, addressing the growing importance of the development and application of theoretical methods, modeling and simulation approaches in all natural science, medicine and engineering areas. Reflecting the broad scope of the new journal, we are pleased to be supported by the members of a topically and geographically diverse Editorial Advisory Board of leading scientists in their respective fields: Jean-Luc Brédas (Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, USA), Emily Carter (Princeton University, USA), Maytal Caspary Toroker (Technion IIT, Haifa, Israel), Liang Chen (Ningbo Institute of Industrial Technology, Zhejiang, China), Clémence Corminboeuf (Ecole polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland), Bert de Groot (Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry, Göttingen, Germany), Stefan Grimme (University of Bonn, Germany), Chi-Ok Hwang (Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology, South Korea), Natalie Kalev-Kronik (Hadassah Medical Center, Jerusalem, Israel), Toshihiro Kawakatsu (Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan), Alexei Khokhlov (Moscow State University, Russia), Kurt Kremer (Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research, Mainz, Germany), Leeor Kronik (Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovoth, Israel), Jürgen Kurths (Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, Germany), Javier Llorca (Madrid Institute for Advanced Studies of Materials, Spain), Jinhu Lu (Research Center for Network Science, Beijing, China), Siewert-Jan Marrink (University of Groningen, The Netherlands), Yifei Mo (University of Maryland, College Park, USA), Rosalba Perna (Stony Brook University, USA), Zhigang Shuai (Tsinghua University, Beijing, China), Berend Smit (University of California, Berkeley, USA), Sean Smith (University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia), Richard M. W. Wong (National University of Singapore), Xin-Cheng Xie (Peking University, Beijing, China), Yong-Wei Zhang (Institute of High Performance Computing, Singapore). The current first issue already provides a first glimpse at some of the topical range Advanced Theory and Simulations intends to cover, presenting work on semiconductor interfaces, on non-amphiphilic structures, on one-dimensional materials, on the theory of critical distances, or on hydrogen damage protection. We sincerely hope that you enjoy reading this very first issue of the new journal and look forward to receiving soon some of your best research for publication.
