Abstract
<jats:p>This volume focuses on smart and advanced materials shaped by principles of condensed matter physics. It emphasizes structure–property relationships, phase transitions, correlated electron behavior, superconductivity, magnetic materials, and stimuli-responsive material systems. Research exploring nanostructured materials, metamaterials, 2D materials, topological phases, ionic conductors, dielectric materials, and functional coatings is encouraged. The volume also supports studies linking microstructure characterization with applied device performance, including sensors, actuators, flexible electronics, memory devices, and energy-storage platforms. The goal is to advance next-generation material technologies through deep physical understanding.</jats:p>
