EDITOR-IN-CHIEF - PHOTON SCIENCE
“The last several decades have witnessed significant technical advances in large-scale particle facilities, including photon, electron, and neutron sources. An important trend is the substantial growth in employing these modern facilities for studying chemical systems to serve the societal needs in energy, technology, and healthcare.
Photon Science was brought forth in response to this dramatic evolution of facility sciences. I am excited to be the founding editor-in-chief and hope this journal will become the platform for researchers from the vast field of physics, chemistry, material and life sciences to share technical breakthroughs, methodology developments, and scientific findings based on modern photon, neutron, and electron facilities.”
Wanli Yang, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
