In celebration of the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) 20th anniversary, Materials Horizons has published this collection showcasing some of the recent and impactful research from the institute.

NIMTE, as a research institute affiliated to the Chinese Academy of Sciences, was officially founded in April 2004. NIMTE aims to strengthen the cross-integration of materials science, as its main discipline, with other disciplines in chemistry, physics, information technology, medical engineering and mechanical engineering. NIMTE primarily pursues research conducting fundamental, forward-looking and world-leading developments in the field of materials science.

This collection features work previously and recently published in Materials Horizons from researchers based at the institute. We hope that the broad range of research showcased in the collection will serve as an indicator of the impactful work being published at the NIMTE. (Materials Horizons)
