Professor Gerhard Wilde, Director of the Institute of Materials Physics at the University of Münster, will succeed Professor Thomas Schimmel from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.

Professor Thomas Schimmel has served as Editor-in-Chief of the Beilstein Journal of Nanotechnology since it was established in November of 2010. His participation and commitment were essential for the journal’s development. As Founding Editor-in-Chief, he will continue to advise the Beilstein Journal of Nanotechnology and support the Editorial Board. “We thank Professor Schimmel for his continuous dedication and appreciate that he will continue to contribute his valuable expertise to our journal,” acknowledges Dr. Wendy Patterson, Board Member of the Beilstein-Institut.

Professor Gerhard Wilde has been appointed as Professor Schimmel’s successor and will assume his new role on November 20, 2022. Wilde has been professor and director of the Institute of Materials Physics at the University of Münster since 2006. “We warmly welcome the new Editor-in-Chief of the Beilstein Journal of Nanotechnology and are very much looking forward to working with Professor Wilde,” says Dr. Barbara Hissa, Managing Editor of the Beilstein Journal of Nanotechnology.

We are looking for an active researcher who is interested in a unique opportunity with a non-profit diamond open access journal.

Registration is now open for the Beilstein Nanotechnology Symposium 2022 "Nanoinformatics: Spanning Scales, Systems and Solutions", taking place from October 11 to 13, 2022, in Rüdesheim, Germany.

The Beilstein Bozen Symposium 2022 - "Simulation and AI in the Future of Science" will be held hybrid, i.e. in presence and online. The scientific programme has been prepared and is now available.
