From the fundamental physics governing material properties to the practical aspects of exploiting those properties in commercial devices, there is a lot to get excited about in materials science. Stephan Roche, editor-in-chief of the recently launched Journal of Physics: Materials, points out there is also a lot to be gained by bringing the full range of cutting-edge developments in the field together on a single platform, as the new journal aims to do. So what does it take to launch a standard bearer in materials science? Roche speaks to Physics World about some of the gems in the first issue and what the future may hold for the journal.
