Advanced Materials is a weekly peer-reviewed scientific journal covering materials science . It includes communications, reviews , and feature articles on topics in chemistry , physics , nanotechnology , ceramics , metallurgy , and biomaterials . According to the Journal Citation Reports , the journal has a 2023 impact factor of 27.4.
7-620: The journal was established in 1988 as a supplement to the general chemistry journal Angewandte Chemie and remained part of that journal for the first eighteen months of its existence. Founder and editor-in-chief was Peter Goelitz (then editor of Angewandte Chemie ). The current editors-in-chief are Irem Bayindir-Buchhalter and Esther Levy. Originally the journal appeared monthly; it switched to fifteen issues in 1997, eighteen issues in 1998, and twenty-four issues in 2000. In 2009, it started to publish weekly, with forty-eight issues per year. Since 2018, it publishes fifty-two issues per year. As
14-511: A course that mirrors what is covered in college, could be perceived as having an advantage over students who do not come to college with a strong chemistry background. Students who wish to be competitive in applying to medical schools try to achieve success in general chemistry as the average GPA for medical school matriculants was 3.71 in 2017. This makes a simply passing grade not acceptable for students with medical school aspirations. General chemistry professors have been known to make tests worth
21-405: A section covering the foundations of general chemistry. General chemistry covers many of the principal foundations that apply to medicine and the human body that is essential in our current understanding and practice of medicine. Students who are enrolled in general chemistry often desire to become doctors, researchers, and educators. Because of the demands of these fields, professors believe that
28-460: A typical general chemistry course are as follows: Students in colleges and universities looking to follow the " pre-medical " track are required to pass general chemistry as the Association of American Medical Colleges requires at least one full year of chemistry. In order for students to apply to medical school, they must pass the medical college admission test, or MCAT , which consists of
35-687: Is offered by colleges and universities as an introductory level chemistry course usually taken by students during their first year. The course is usually run with a concurrent lab section that gives students an opportunity to experience a laboratory environment and carry out experiments with the material learned in the course. These labs can consist of acid-base titrations , kinetics , equilibrium reactions , and electrochemical reactions . Chemistry majors as well as students across STEM majors such as biology , biochemistry , biomedicine , physics , and engineering are usually required to complete one year of general chemistry as well. The concepts taught in
42-510: The level of rigor that is associated with general chemistry should be elevated from that of a typical introductory course. This has led to this course to gain the title of a "weed out course" where students drop out from their respected major due to the level of difficulty. Students can have different perceptions of the course based on their experiences, or lack thereof, in high school chemistry courses. Students who enroll in AP chemistry in high school,
49-458: The volume of research in materials science increased significantly since the 1990s, several journals have been spun off, including: This article about a nanotechnology journal is a stub .
