https://caip.co-ac.com/index.php/materialsanddevices <p>Materials and Devices is an Open Access journal managed by academics, which publishes original, and peer-reviewed papers accessible only via internet, freely for all. Your published article can be freely downloaded, and self archiving of your paper is allowed and encouraged!</p> <p>The topics covered by the journal are wide, Materials and Devices aims at publishing papers on all aspects of studies on materials, and related devices. This includes solid state physics and chemistry, chemical physics, materials science, microelectronics, photonics,... and all types of materials.</p> <p>Papers on biomaterials, geomaterials, archeomaterials or on studies of ancient materials are also welcome. A particular attention is also paid on environmental studies related with materials and on materials relevant to environment preservation.</p> <p>Authors are also encouraged to submit papers on theoretical studies applied to materials, including pure mathematical approaches, physical approaches, models, numerical simulations, etc.</p> <p>We apply « the principles of transparency and best practice in scholarly publishing» as defined by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).<br /><br />Materials and Devices is now indexed by the DOAJ and published articles receive a DOI. </p> <p>Articles are published under the responsability of authors, in particular concerning the respect of copyrights; we ask authors to consider this point very seriously because any figure (or table) already published (even by the author himself) in another journal is generally submitted to copyrights. In that case authors should ask for permission to reproduce the figure in his article.</p> <p>Another very important point is plagiarism. Authors should be careful not to plagiarize other works; we check articles for plagiarism, and authors who would submit a plagiarized article (or partially plagiarized) will be bannished from the journal.</p> <p>Readers are aware that the contents of published articles may involve hazardous experiments if reproduced; the reproduction of experimental procedures described in articles is under the responsability of readers and their own analysis of potential danger.</p> <p><strong>Downloads: <a href="http://co-ac.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Flier-MatDev2019.pdf">Flier of the journal </a> Article templates:</strong> there is a special template for review articles, other types of articles may be edited with the general template. See the recent issue of the journal to get the updated templates, containing also instructions for authors.<br /><br /><strong>IMPORTANT:</strong> when submitting an article, follow carefully all steps and enter all authors. At least one OrCid profile should be given. Thereafter, confirm your submission sending an e-mail to editor.materialsanddevices@gmail.com, acompanied with a list of e-mail address of 15 scientists working in the same or related fields.</p> Collaborating Academics en-US OAJ Materials and Devices 2495-3911 <p><strong>Authors who publish with this journal agree to the following terms:</strong><br /><br /></p> <ol type="a"> <ol type="a"> <li>Authors retain copyright and grant the journal right of first publication with the work simultaneously licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution License ( <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/" rel="license">Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International Licens</a>e) that allows others to share the work with an acknowledgement of the work's authorship and initial publication in this journal.</li> <li>To the extent transferable, copyright in and to the undersigned article is hereby assigned to Collaborating Academics and Open Access Journal Materials and Devices (ISSN: 2495-3911) for publication in the website of the journal and as part of a book (eventually a special volume) that could be produced in a printed and/or an electronic form.</li> <li>Authors are permitted and encouraged to post their work online (e.g., in institutional repositories or on their website) prior to and during the submission process, as it can lead to productive exchanges, as well as earlier and greater citation of published work (See <a style="background-color: #ffffff;" href="http://opcit.eprints.org/oacitation-biblio.html" target="_new">The Effect of Open Access</a>).</li> <li>Figures, tables, and other information present in articles published in the OAJ Materials and Devices may be reused without permission, provided the citation of original article is made in figure's or table's caption.</li> </ol> </ol> https://caip.co-ac.com/index.php/materialsanddevices/article/view/224 <p>Template to be used when uploading the revised version of your manuscript.

Here, we show a path that integrates chemistry and astrophysics to unify these forces, explaining gravity, dark matter, and dark energy without requiring additional dimensions or external forces.</p> <p>The first part unifies the strong nuclear force with the gravitational force in a mathematical way; the strong nuclear force can deform the quantum vacuum.</p> <p>The second part unifies the strong nuclear force with the quantum vacuum in a hypothetical structure; the quantum vacuum is treated as a system with properties related to the different types of particles' motion.</p> Sergio Perez Copyright (c) 2026 Sergio Perez https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 2026-04-12 2026-04-12 10 https://caip.co-ac.com/index.php/materialsanddevices/article/view/223 <p>Template to be used when uploading the revised version of your manuscript.
