Special Issue Information

Conventional materials are reaching their limits in computation, sensing, data storage capabilities, performing simultaneous, integrated sensing, computation, data storage and retrieval. In contrast, the human brain is capable of multimodal sensing, complex computation, and both short and long-term data storage simultaneously, with near instantaneous rate of recall, seamless integration, and minimal energy consumption.  Such materials would offer transformative opportunities for distributed, multimodal sensing, computation, and data storage in biological and other unconventional environments, including interfacing with biological sensors and computers, such as the brain.
•Layer development for Emerging and autonomous computing materials and devices;
•Thin film development for large-scale high performance computing devices and small portable devices and capable of being integrated into fabrics and the environment;
•Thin film development for new, biologically inspired paradigms implementing emerging architectures, with hybrid circuits and systems that combine the best features of scaled silicon CMOS with new devices, physical interactions, and materials.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
