Special issue on "Computational and Theoretical Materiomics" now published (J. Computational &Theoretical Nanoscience)

The special issue on "Computational and Theoretical Materiomics: Properties of Biological and de novo Bioinspired Materials" has now been published. A list of papers is included below. A sincere thank you to all contributors! Anyone interested in a reprint of any of the articles please send me a message.

This special issue of the Journal of Computational and Theoretical Nanoscience presents a collection of review articles and original research papers, summarizing recent progress in the application of materials science concepts to the study of biological molecules and tissues, a broad range of effort defined as materiomics. The papers in this special issue focus on emphasizing the linking of the role of disparate scales through the integrated use of an integrated set of computational and theoretical tools.
