Feature papers represent the most advanced research with significant potential for high impact in the field. A Feature Paper should be a substantial original Article that involves several techniques or approaches, provides an outlook for future research directions and describes possible research applications.
Feature papers are submitted upon individual invitation or recommendation by the scientific editors and must receive positive feedback from the reviewers.
Editor’s Choice articles are based on recommendations by the scientific editors of MDPI journals from around the world. Editors select a small number of articles recently published in the journal that they believe will be particularly interesting to readers, or important in the respective research area. The aim is to provide a snapshot of some of the most exciting work published in the various research areas of the journal.

We are pleased to announce the winners of the 2020–2021 Travel Awards, sponsored by MDPI and Entropy. The awards were granted to two outstanding young researchers working in the thematic areas:
Astrophysics, Cosmology, and Black Holes
Noel Castro Segura is a PhD student at the University of Southampton. The goal of his research is to shed light on some of the fundamental problems related to accretion physics and binary evolution. In particular, his main focus is on how outflows affect these systems. He is planning to present his work "Accretion disk winds in black-hole LMXRB: The missing link" at the Vasto Accretion Meeting (30 May–5 June 2021, Vasto, Italy). The award consists of 800 Swiss francs, to be used to attend this conference. |

Quantum Information
Igor A. Khramtsov is a PhD student at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, whose research interest involves color centers in diamond, silicon carbide, and other wide-bandgap semiconductors; color center electroluminescence; single-photon sources and detectors; nanophotonics; optical interconnects; integrated germanium photodetectors; and silicon nanophotonics. He is planning to present his work “Towards efficient electrical triggering of single-photon emission from SiV centers in diamond” at SPIE Photonics West (6–11 March 2021 San Francisco, CA, USA). The award consists of 800 Swiss francs, to be used to attend this conference. |
