We are thrilled to announce that our paper, “Limitations of hydrogen detection after 150 years of research on hydrogen embrittlement”, has been selected as one of the standout contributions in the Advanced Engineering Materials 2024 Virtual Issue. This special virtual collection, curated and selected by the Journal Editors, highlights some of the most exceptional research published in the journal over the past year. Our work stands out in first place!
Aligned with the most recent aspiration of our global society for sustainable and clean energy generation, our work addresses on the challenges of working with hydrogen energy, in particular it revisits the challenges of hydrogen embrittlement, highlighting the experimental and theoretical hurdles in understanding this persistent material degradation issue, showing that the field of metallurgy in extreme environments is pari passu with the upcoming challenges in our global agenda.
This recognition from Advanced Engineering Materials, on behalf of the materials’ community that actively engaged with our paper, underlines the paramount importance of advancing experimental science to tackle complex materials science problems.
The full virtual issue is open access available for free for a limited time, and we encourage you to explore it here.
Thank you to the Editorial Team for this honor and to our colleagues and readers for their continued support! I personally thank all my co-authors for their continuous support and engagement with the [X-MAT]’s research in Metallurgy in Extreme Environments!
We do science for the people and we are prepared to engage any worldwide challenges of the future!
