Zhifeng Ren, a University of Houston physicist and a principal investigator with the Texas Center for Superconductivity at UH, has launched a new academic journal, “Materials Today Physics,” which will focus on new and emerging materials.
The journal, to be published by Elsevier, was announced this week at the annual meeting of the American Physical Society in New Orleans. It will initially focus primarily on thermoelectric and photovoltaic materials, although Ren said he expects it to quickly evolve to encompass other emerging materials.
