COVER STORY A Milestone Toward Achieving Molecular Alignment |
| Molecular alignment control plays an important role in improving the performance of various materials. A nano-scaled molecular function is amplified to a macroscaled material property by molecular alignment. This process includes profound challenges in both science and engineering approaches. Molecular alignment control has been widely used in materials design, while it was treated separately in each research field. In this edition, it is shown that elegant design of molecular alignment control remarkably promotes large progress for electronic, ionic, magnetic, optical, and mechanical properties of materials. The comprehensive understanding of molecular alignment sheds some light on new developments in materials research. Editors: SHISHIDO, TSUNODA, MATSUBA, and YOSHIMOTO |
