This new journal, jointly published by TMS and ASM International, spans the entire energy spectrum, from production and generation to transmission to energy storage and conversion. It will provide a vital platform for presenting original research and review focused on the science of materials applied to or being investigated to address unique aspects of current and emerging energy technologies. The journal will cover a broad range of energy technologies and focus on why the technology matters for a particular energy application. These technologies include battery, biomass, fuel cell, geothermal, hydrocarbons, hydrogen storage, nuclear, solar cell, supercapacitor, thermal conversion, thermochemistry, thermoelectricity, wind, and other energy technologies as they emerge. Various areas of materials research, including larger materials issues with applications to energy, will be included. Metallurgical and Materials Transactions E: Materials for Energy Systems is accepting papers now for publication in 2014. A Call for Papers is available at http://www.tms.org/pubs/journals/MT/MT.aspx

For a period of three years, with periodical visits to UNICAMP, we will study the thermomagnetic properties of nanostructured materials and composites for magnetic refrigeration.
