In this blog we’ll be looking at what it takes to translate new materials into market-ready products. Focus areas will include printed and flexible electronics, bio-compatible materials, photonic structures, and candidates for improved energy storage and next-generation memory. At the heart of the project is the launch of the new journal – Translational Materials Research (TMR), which will examine not just the technical requirements in terms of properties and scalable fabrication, but also the skills and strategies that are necessary to navigate a path from the lab to a company complete with staff, facilities and sales!

We’ll keep you posted as the editorial board takes shape and will announce when the journal is open for submissions; so, please do bookmark the URL or add your e-mail to our alert tool. Also, don’t be shy – we’d appreciate your feedback, so feel free to contact us with your thoughts on the TMR project and the content as it appears.
