We are pleased to announce that after a recommendation from the Editor-in-Chief of Materials (ISSN: 1996-1944), Prof. Dr. Maryam Tabrizian, ten outstanding Topical Advisory Panel Members were promoted to the position of Editorial Board Members. This is due to their impressive expertise in the materials field and great dedication to the journal over the past two years. We wish them every success in their new position and look forward to working with them on the journal.
