MELVILLE, N.Y., March 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- AIP Publishing is excited to announce that the first issue of APL Electronic Devices, its newest open access journal, is now available online.

APL Electronic Devices is a bold new journal at the intersection of multiple communities, including theory/modeling, experimental/applied physics, and materials/engineering. Its aim is to build interdisciplinary connections and industry-academic partnerships that will accelerate discovery.

"This first issue of APL Electronic Devices marks the beginning of an exciting journey, showcasing pioneering research, innovative technologies, and groundbreaking advancements in the field," said APL Electronic Devices Editor-in-Chief, Prof. Sohini Kar-Narayan. "With open access to high-quality scientific content, we aim to foster a vibrant community of researchers and enthusiasts from both academia and industry who are passionate about shaping the future of electronic devices. We invite you to explore, engage, and contribute to this exciting new venture!"

In the inaugural issue's editorial, Prof. Kar-Narayan notes that the launch of APL Electronic Devices comes at an important time for the field — with demands from new technologies like artificial intelligence, robotics, quantum computing, neural networks, and bioelectronics continuing to grow. Keeping up with it all means finding sustainable, scalable approaches to modern problems. APL Electronic Devices seeks to foster that journey of discovery.

"This is an exciting day, not only for AIP Publishing but also for the field of electronic device research," said AIP Publishing's Chief Publishing Officer, Dr. Penelope Lewis. "Research in this field touches nearly every aspect of modern life. It's an honor and a privilege to welcome Prof. Kar-Narayan, the APL Electronic Devices editorial team, and this ever-growing research community to AIP Publishing. We look forward to seeing this new journal flourish."

The APL Electronic Devices team includes Prof. Sohini Kar-Narayan (University of Cambridge), Prof. Yee Sin Ang (Singapore University of Technology and Design), Prof. Wanyi Nie (University at Buffalo), and Dr. Marko Tadjer (U.S. Naval Research Laboratory).
