Calls for papers

This themed Collection will focus on original research contributions aimed at advancing the technology readiness of robotic autonomy in inspection and maintenance. Specifically, we welcome submissions that explore topics such as high-precision robotic mapping, defect detection and classification, complex task planning, efficient human-robot collaboration and complex decision making.

This Collections invites submissions in the topic of non-carbon 2D materials, it spans from their fabrication to their use in the latest technologies for the developments of next generation of systems.

This Collection welcomes research investigating the nutritional requirements of different species and breeds, the influence of feeds on meat, dairy and egg quality, and the potential environmental impacts of livestock and poultry diets.

This Collection aims to explore the ways in which humans are becoming more bionic and welcomes original research on injury or disease occurrence and rehabilitation, exercise physiology, and biomaterials and tissue engineering.

This Collections seeks submissions using methods like single cell sequencing, imaging, or proteomics to advance our understanding of cellular functions.

This Collection invites work that sheds light on the mechanisms of autophagy in anti-tumour immunity, as well as articles highlighting the therapeutic potential of autophagy in tackling immunotherapy resistance.

This Collection invites submission of original research papers that advance thermochemical treatment technologies to improve conversion efficiency, raw material analysis, gas cleaning, and product upgrading.

This Collection invites research from all fields of ecology, conservation, environmental sciences, sustainability, and interdisciplinary studies with a focus on coastal ecosystems.

This Collection invites submissions on the latest research focusing on sexual selection, across the whole tree of life, welcoming integrative and multidisciplinary studies.

This Collection welcomes primary research focused on establishing and characterising new and existing examples of convergent evolution at genetic, molecular and anatomical levels.
