To ensure the journal sits at the forefront of materials science, Matter & Light will be managed by the Matter (@cp-matter.bsky.social) editorial team.

The journal will connect the community of researchers focused on light-matter interactions - from fundamental physics and chemistry to engineered systems and technological applications.

Big thanks for the invitation and to all involved in organising, and the Alchemists for hosting.

Great turn out from an array of undergrads and lovely catching up with some old pals and familiar faces!

Yes no surprises there, but I couldn’t even log in!

It’s back up working now, phew!

Aw man, hope you feel better soon. Need to rest up though, stay in bed!

Tried a restart but yeah seems to be big issues!

For more info, check out the link below. Feel free to send me any questions or queries!

Working closely with the Matter Editor in Chief (Steve Cranford), the new Deputy Editor will have the unique opportunity to shape a prominent and vibrant journal, that also fits cohesively into the Matter and Cell Press journal portfolio.

Matter & Light by Cell Press aims to better serve researchers working at the materials/light interface (including photovoltaics, photocatalysis, photonics, luminescent and related materials).

We are seeking a Deputy Editor to help drive the launch of the journal and catalyse its development.

My one major faux pas during this trip was taking my glasses into the sauna… the heat warped the protective coating so now I’m in the fun process of ordering new ones 🙃
