Nature already uses atomic and molecular level engineering within cells, organelles, tissues and organs to create a vast array of functional structures. Engineers are beginning to develop techniques which allow us to create and develop a whole range of materials and structures which will have a huge range of applications ranging from medical products, pharmaceutical drugs, new materials, nano robots, molecular machines, 3-D intelligent structures, novel electronics devices, etc.

   Objectives

The objectives of IJME are to establish effective channels of communication on the latest developments in the field of molecular engineering, including science, processes, technology and applications, between engineers, scientists, industry, policy makers, academic and research institutions, and persons concerned with any aspect of molecular engineering. The interdisciplinary nature of molecular engineering will serve to break down cultural, international and academic barriers to meet the needs of accelerating technological developments in the international community for a global change in many fields.

   Readership

IJME provides a vehicle to help academics, researchers, industrial companies, trade associations and policy makers in the fields of chemistry, biology, physics, materials science, engineering, biotechnology, nanotechnology, electronics and business to disseminate information and to learn from each other's work.

   Contents

IJME publishes original high quality papers, rapid communications, timely review papers, technical reports and case studies. Special Issues devoted to developments in important topics in molecular engineering will be published periodically.

   Subject Coverage

Topics covered by IJME include but are not limited to:

• Fundamental chemistry, biology, physics of molecular engineering
• Modelling and simulations of molecular machines and structures
• Cell and tissue engineering
• Molecular fabrication
• Tools and processes for molecular manipulation
• Management of molecular engineering processes
• Applications of molecular engineering
• Applications of molecular engineering in micromanufacturing and nanomanufacturing enterprises

   Specific Notes for Authors

Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere.

All papers are refereed through a double blind process. A guide for authors, sample copies and other relevant information for submitting papers are available on the Author Guidelines web-page.

To submit a paper, please go to Submissions of Papers

All papers must be submitted online. If you experience any problems submitting your paper online, please contact submissions@inderscience.com, describing the exact problem you experience. Please include in your email the title of the Journal.
