Advanced Materials 20th Anniversary

Join us in celebrating 20 years of excellence in materials science! In forthcoming issue 16 of Advanced Materials, a special anniversary section highlights the past, present and future of our materials science flagship. Starting out in 1988 as a 36-page section in Angewandte Chemie, Advanced Materials has gone a long way on the path of success, a path which certainly leads on even further into 21^st century science and globalized publishing. A bright perspective indeed, but perhaps not as predictable as thought twenty years ago, and therefore all the more fascinating. Read the visions of 1988 compared to today, and what we think now of the future. Find out who our most downloaded and most cited authors are, and details on what is in store for you at the beginning of the third decade of Advanced Materials: twice the issues – 48 – from January 2009 on, special sections on energy materials, cutting-edge reviews and the very best of research communicated to you.
