Dear All,

I thought you might be interested to learn that ICE Publishing, the  
publishing division of the Institution of Civil Engineers, has just  
announced the launch of a major new flagship journal series: ICE  
Science. The collection aims to bring together communities and inspire  
the cross-fertilization of ideas in the areas of nanotechnology,  
energy, materials science and biomaterials. ICE Science will be  
launched with three full-colour, bimonthly journals in 2012, and is  
also offering free online access to all published content in 2011 and  
2012.

I've copied the press release below for your information - I hope it's  
of interest; please let me know if you would like any more information.

All best wishes,

//Breaking through traditional boundaries to inspire new thinking//

/ICE Publishing launches new flagship journal collection: ICE Science/

ICE Publishing, the publishing division of the Institution of Civil  
Engineers, today announces the launch of a major new flagship journal  
series: ICE Science. By publishing at the intersection of many  
scientific disciplines this new series aims to inspire the cross- 
fertilization of ideas and drive forward knowledge in the areas of  
materials science, biomaterials, nanotechnology and energy.
The collection aims to deliver a truly holistic overview of each area,  
bringing together communities that traditionally work in silos to  
ensure important discoveries and applications are accessible to all  
those in the field: inspiring fresh thinking in how breakthrough  
research can be practically applied to make energy, materials and  
medicines ever more efficient and effective.

“We’re excited to be launching this ground-breaking series” said  
Victoria Rae, Commissioning Editor at ICE Publishing. “At the ICE we  
have enormous experience of publishing journals in the field of civil  
engineering, but increasingly science crosses discipline boundaries.  
It is at the interface of traditional subject areas that we believe  
the next round of major breakthroughs will come and we’re looking  
forward to bringing these new findings to the attention of the  
scientific community through the ICE Science journals.”

ICE Science will launch with three full-colour, bimonthly journals and  
is offering free online access to all published content throughout  
2011 and 2012, providing researchers with the opportunity to be widely  
read and cited. Authors can now submit articles to the journal editors.

Nanomaterials and Energy (http://www.icevirtuallibrary.com/nme) will  
be the first journal to be launched in the ICE Science collection, in  
January 2012.  Led by editor-in-chief, Professor Nitin Chopra,  
University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, USA, the journal will bring  
together research from scientists and engineers working at the  
juncture of nanomaterials and energy, helping identify new and ever  
more efficient energy sources with a cost-benefit focus.

Emerging Materials Research (http://www.icevirtuallibrary.com/emr)  
launches in February 2012 and brings new vision and insight to the  
field of materials science.  Materials Research is constantly evolving  
and correlations between process, structure, properties and  
performance which are application specific require expert  
understanding at the macro-, micro- and nano-scale. Through this new  
journal, editor-in-chief, Professor N. M Ravindra, New Jersey  
Institute of Technology, USA, invites researchers across science and  
engineering to identify revolutionary and diverse applications for new  
and evolving materials.

Bioinspired, Biomimetic and Nanobiomaterials (http://www.icevirtuallibrary.com/bbn 
) brings together ideas from the most promising area of research  
within the field of biological materials science and engineering. The  
technological significance of this area is immense for applications as  
diverse as tissue engineering and drug delivery biosystems to  
biomimicked sensors and optical devices. This third journal, in the  
ICE Science collection, also launches in February 2012 and its Editor- 
in-chief is Professor Kajal Mallick, School of Engineering, University  
of Warwick, UK.
