Physics of Life Reviews
Physics of Life Reviews is an international journal appearing quarterly, that publishes review articles on physics of living systems, complex phenomena in biological systems, and related fields of artificial life, robotics, mathematical bio-semiotics, and artificial intelligent systems. This journal is a unifying force, going across the barriers between disciplines, addressing all living systems from molecules to populations and from genetics to mind and artificial systems modeling these phenomena. The journal invites reviews from actively working researchers, which are broad in scope, critical, accessible to our wide readership and addresses sometimes controversial accounts of recent progress and problems.Physics of Life Reviews intends to keep the active researcher abreast of developments on a wide range of topics by publishing timely reviews, which are more than mere literature surveys but normally less than a full monograph. Although most of the reviews will be of a specialist nature, each review should contain enough introductory material to make the main points intelligible to a non-specialist and to inspire and facilitate interdisiplinary research. The reviews should address in a clear way the most important conceptual issues in a field, review existing theories and methods with their achievements and drawbacks or difficulties versus the issues, unsolved problems addressed by a new theory, method, or approach, and why a significant progress is achieved or expected. Future research directions, remaining unsolved problems, and experimental confirmations or controversies should also be addressed.
Physics of the Dark Universe
Physics of the Dark Universe is a new and innovative online-only, fully open access journal. The journal offers rapid publication of peer-reviewed, original research articles considered of high scientific impact. The journal is focused on the understanding of the nature of Dark Matter and Dark Energy and covers all theoretical, experimental and phenomenological aspects of both Dark Matter and Dark Energy.It encourages the submission of articles on the following subjects in this field:Nature of Particle Dark MatterDirect searches for Dark MatterIndirect searches for Dark MatterCollider searches for Dark Matter, including for example the Large Hadron ColliderTheoretical investigations of the Physics of Dark MatterInvestigations of New and Existing Models OF Dark Matter (e.g. SUSY, extra dimensions, axions, etc)Low mass WIMP searchesObservations and experimental results related to the properties of Dark EnergyNew experiments, forecasts and methods for the observation of Dark EnergyModels and theoretical properties of vacuum energy,quintessence, modified gravity, and in general of Dark Energy and its alternative explanationsIn addition to submission of scientific papers in the usual formats, we encourage the submission of innovative articles, in the following forms:Articles containing additional information, such as additional figures, interactive plots and database linking. Elsevier offers 700 MB of space to be used for each article for additional material. Each file has a suggested size limit of 50 MB, but larger files are possible (in this case please contact the Managing Editor).Design Studies and Concept papers for new experiments or describing ideas for new experiments. In particular, experimental set up of the next generation of very large Dark Matter direct and indirect detectors, new underground laboratories for the study of Dark Matter, and new ground based or space based experiments on Dark Energy are particularly welcome. These articles can be longer than regular articles, describing the experiment while focusing on its scientific goals.Software Description and Manuals can be published, if the software is proved to have scientific interest in the understanding of Dark Matter and Dark Energy. The paper can be enriched with the code itself, that can be versioned and updated with time. A new article can only be allowed if the modifications to the software are relevant to the science described.Cover Images Credits:Photomultipliers, credits to XENON100 Collaboration; Cassiopea A, credits NASA/CXC/SAO/D.Patnaude et al; Millennium Simulation, credits Prof. Volker Springel; Bullet Cluster, credits: X-ray: NASA/CXC/CfA/M.Markevitch et al.; Optical: NASA/STScI; Magellan/U.Arizona/D.
