Aims

Smart Materials and Devices (SMD) is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to advancing the frontier of intelligent materials and their integration with cutting-edge technologies. Published quarterly by Science Exploration Press, SMD provides a premier platform for research that spans the development and application of smart materials, with a strong emphasis on the transformative role of artificial intelligence (AI).
Our goal is to publish groundbreaking research that not only covers the spectrum of smart materials, but also highlights how AI and machine learning are revolutionizing material science. We aim to bridge fundamental research with practical applications, encouraging interdisciplinary collaboration and driving innovation in both material science and engineering. By focusing on how AI can reshape the design, optimization, and application of smart materials, we strive to foster advancements that push the boundaries of what these materials can achieve.
