Inorganic Materials (Neorganicheskie Materialy) was established in 1965; the journal contains reviews, original papers, and news about chemistry, physics, and applications of various inorganic materials including high-purity substances and materials. The journal discusses phase equilibria, including P–T–X diagrams, and the fundamentals of inorganic materials science, which determines preparatory conditions for compounds of various compositions with specified deviations from stoichiometry. Inorganic Materials is a multidisciplinary journal covering all classes of inorganic materials.
Inorganic Materials: Applied Research contains translations of research articles devoted to applied aspects of inorganic materials. The articles are selected from four leading Russian journals: Materialovedenie (Journal of Material Science), Perspektivnye Materialy (Journal of Advanced Materials), Fizika I Khimiya Obrabotki Materialov (Physics and Chemistry of Materials Processing), Voprosy Materialovedeniya (Problems of Materials Science). The main topics of the journal are physical aspects of material science and properties of inorganic materials, methods of their analysis, inorganic nanostructures and nanotechnologies, structure and property relationships in inorganic materials, development of technologies of new inorganic materials, and metrological aspects related to material science. The journal considers engineering aspects of rapidly developing technologies: ionic and plasma treatment of materials, high-gradient crystallization, laser technologies, ultrasonic technologies, and others. Advanced materials are considered in the journal, such as those for aviation and space, electronics and quantum electronics, atomic and nuclear power engineering, constructional materials, and medicine.
IEEE Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Magazine communicates to readers the activities and actions of the IEEE SMC Society's governing body, its Technical Committees, and Chapters. Furthermore, the magazine offers educational material such as technical review papers, publishes contributions on educational activities, industrial and university profiles, conference news, book reviews, a calendar of important events, and provides information on the activities of sister non-IEEE SMC bodies.
Insight – Non-Destructive Testing and Condition Monitoring is the Journal of The British Institute of Non-Destructive Testing. It was launched in April 1994, replacing the former British Journal of Non-Destructive Testing and incorporating, in quarterly issues, the former European Journal of Non-Destructive Testing.
Integrated Ferroelectrics provides an international, interdisciplinary forum for electronic engineers and physicists as well as process and systems engineers, ceramicists, and chemists who are involved in research, design, development, manufacturing and utilization of integrated ferroelectric devices. Such devices unite ferroelectric films and semiconductor integrated circuit chips. The result is a new family of electronic devices, which combine the unique nonvolatile memory, pyroelectric, piezoelectric, photorefractive, radiation-hard, acoustic and/or dielectric properties of ferroelectric materials with the dynamic memory, logic and/or amplification properties and miniaturization and low-cost advantages of semiconductor i.c. technology.

Geomechanics is an interdisciplinary field dealing with the mechanical behaviour of, and fluid flow and transport phenomena in geomaterials (soils, rocks, concrete, ice, snow, powders and ceramics), and their role in diverse applications in geological, geotechnical, structural, earthquake, environmental, mining, offshore and petroleum engineering. The journal emphasizes contributions to the understanding of the complex properties of geomaterials through experimental measurements, and the development or novel use of analytical or numerical techniques to solve problems in geomechanics. Topics of interest in material behavior include instabilities and localization, interface and surface phenomena, fracture and failure, coupled chemo-hygro-thermo-mechanical problems, and time-dependent phenomena. Specifically within the scope of the journal fall the modelling and simulation of heterogeneous materials at different scales, including micromechanics, and any issue that bears upon difficulties encountered in modelling materials where the microstructure becomes important for macroscopically observed mechanical and physical properties. The scope also covers the solution of inverse problems including back analysis of in situ or laboratory tests, and stochastic methods. The journal is particularly interested in contributions that demonstrate the application of theoretical geomechanics in the solution of engineering problems.
Abrasive technology concerns manufacturing processes that involve use of abrasives in a variety of forms. It has a long history originating from the discovery of minerals. With the increasing requirements for high precision and high surface quality components in various applications, (e.g. silicon wafers in the semiconductor industry and optical lenses in the precision instrument industry), abrasive technology is becoming increasingly important in precision manufacturing. IJAT deals with abrasive technology, covering theoretical and applied research, new technologies and applications.
