Then take a look at the high-profile series of PCCP themed issues in the fields of biophysics and biophysical chemistry.

The series contains issues on a variety of topics in this exciting multidisciplinary research area and highlights some of the great content PCCP publishes in this area. 

Take a look at the great issues today:

• Biomolecular Structures: From Isolated Molecules to Living Cells
• Molecular Mechanisms of the Photostability of life
• Water in biological systems
• Advances in Mass Spectrometry for Biological Science
• Homochirality and Origin of Life
• Nano-bio: The interface between bio-systems and nano-devices

Also, look out for our forthcoming themed issue on Theoretical chemical physics of biological systems to be published in July 2012, Guest Edited by Carlo Adamo, Leif Eriksson, Maria Ramos, Nino Russo and Jesus Ugalde.

We encourage you to submit your next high quality paper in biophysics or biophysical chemistry to PCCP – submit to PCCP

There is still time to submit an article to the PCCP themed issue on “Organic electronics – new physical chemistry insight”.

Guest Editors: Prof. Wenping Hu (Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences), Prof. Henning Sirringhaus (Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge University) and Prof. Yutai Tao (Academia Sinica, Taiwan).

Deadline for Submissions: 14^th May, 2012

Organic electronics has attracted the world’s attention due to the great promise of organic electronic devices for practical applications, from organic light-emitting diodes to organic solar cells and field-effect transistors as well as other new relevant fields. Key challenges in this field include the low mobility of organic semiconductors, low stability of organic devices, the role of interfaces and device physics etc. And a lack of understanding of the structure–property relationships of organic semiconductors still hampers their rational design.

This themed issue will highlight the tremendous progress that has been made in this field and will help foster new ideas for future advances in solving the physical chemistry challenges of organic electronics.

• Manuscripts can be submitted in any reasonable format using our online submissions service
• Submissions should be high quality manuscripts of original, unpublished research
• Communications and full papers can be submitted for consideration, which will be subject to rigorous peer review
• Please indicate upon submission that your manuscript is intended for this themed issue
