Interface Focus

Aims & Scope

Each Interface Focus themed issue is devoted to a particular subject at the interface of the physical and life sciences.

Formed of high-quality articles, they aim to facilitate cross-disciplinary research across this traditional divide by acting as a forum accessible to all.

Topics may be newly emerging areas of research or dynamic aspects of more established fields.

Organisers of each Interface Focus are strongly encouraged to contextualise the journal within their chosen subject.
