Collaborative Frontiers: Molecular Cell's Journey in China

Light: Science & Applications, Thriving with International Scientists

The editorial philosophy of Light: Science & Applications (Light), launched in March 2012, is explicitly defined: creating a top-tier comprehensive journal across the full spectrum of optics research, including basic, applied and engineering results in all areas of optics and photonics. The goal is to enlighten and contribute to the well-being of global optics researchers, engineers, students and the industry.

Better Understanding the Research Ecosystem

As the UNESCO states, science is mankind's greatest collective endeavor. The public, scientists and governments are all direct or indirect participants in the scientific enterprise. Their understanding and perception of science collectively influence whether science effectively responds to societal realities.

The Lancet's Timeless Mission: Driving Social Change via Medical Research & Science

The Lancet was founded in 1823 by Thomas Wakley with the vision to drive positive social change by advancing medical research and science for the greater good, by addressing inequities of the time with access to medical knowledge for "medical and surgical practitioners" in the UK and the British colonies (as they were referred to at the time), and by being more than a medical journal. The Lancet has remained true to its core mission to drive positive social change, which is as relevant today as it was groundbreaking then, through the past two centuries amid seismic changes in our world.

China's Growing Contribution to Journal of Applied Physics

The Journal of Applied Physics was started in 1931, from the realization that physics, as one of the foundational natural sciences, has profound implications for everyone's real life. When physics made incredible strides from the classical basics of Newton and Maxwell to the quantum and relativistic world of Planck and Einstein,itincreasingly affected everyone's life through its applications such astheelectric light, radio and radar.
