About the journal
Physical Review Applied
Aim and Scope
Physical Review Applied publishes high-quality papers that bridge the gap between engineering and physics, between industry and academia, and between current and future technologies. It welcomes studies in conventional applied physics, and reaches beyond by inviting papers by physicists working on problems in engineering, and by engineers investigating the physics of their systems. Combining the best in physics with the best in engineering will strengthen both disciplines, provide new insights, foster new approaches, and promote new collaborations.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following.
Biophysics, bioengineering, and biomedical materials
Device physics
Energy technology, including renewable energy, storage, and power generation
High-pressure physics and geophysics
Industrial physics
Magnetism and spintronics
Materials science, including alloys, composites, glasses, and polymers
Metamaterials
Microfluidics and complex fluids
Morphogenesis and pattern formation, in nature and in manufactured materials
Nanoscience and nanotechnology
Optics, optoelectronics, photonics, and laser physics
Quantum information processing, both algorithms and hardware
Soft matter physics, including granular and colloidal applications and active matter
Physical Review Applied publishes research with strong and clear ties to concrete applications, and offering fresh insight from or about physics. We encourage forward-looking scientists engaged in applied research to consider this journal their home for stimulating scholarly publications and discussion.
