More information 2008 Acta Biomaterialia Gold Medal Award: Winner Announced The 2009 Acta Materialia, Inc. Gold Medal Award The 2009 Acta Materialia, Inc. Materials ∧ Society Award Description Scripta Materialia, a companion journal of Acta Materialia, is a leading LETTERS journal for materials science and engineering. It provides a forum for rapid publication of cutting edge short papers which advance the understanding of structural and functional materials including metals, ceramics, semiconductors and polymers. Emphasis is on those aspects of the science and engineering of materials that address an understanding of: (i) the relationship between the microstructure of materials and their properties, including mechanical (from both the defect and continuum viewpoints), electrical, magnetic optical and chemical properties; (ii) the relationship between the microstructure of materials and the thermodynamics, kinetics and mechanisms of processes occurring within solids; (iii) the synthesis and processing of materials, with emphasis on microstructural mechanisms and control; (iv) the modeling and simulation of microstructure and properties of materials; and (v) advances in the characterization of the microstructure and properties of materials. In addition, Scripta Materialia encourages the submission of comments on papers published particularly in Acta Materialia and Scripta Materialia. The journal also publishes Viewpoint Sets, which are a collection of short articles focused on topics of current interest within the scope of the journal and co-ordinated by invited guest editors.
