Microbially Induced Calcium Carbonate Precipitation (MICP) and Its Potential in Bioconcrete: Microbiological and Molecular Concepts

María José Castro-Alonso, Lilia Ernestina Montañez-Hernández, María Alejandra Sánchez-Muñoz et al. · 10 Jun 2019

In this review, microbiological and molecular concepts of Microbially induced Calcium Carbonate Precipitation (MICP) and their role in bioconcrete are discussed. MICP is a widespread biochemical process in soils, caves, freshwater, marine sediments and hypersaline habitats. MICP is an outcome of metabolic interactions between diverse microbial communities with organic and/or inorganic compounds present in environment.…

A Review of the Application of Machine Learning and Data Mining Approaches in Continuum Materials Mechanics

Frederic E. Bock, Roland C. Aydin, Christian J. Cyron et al. · 15 May 2019

Machine learning tools represent key enablers for empowering material scientists and engineers to accelerate the development of novel materials, processes and techniques. One of the aims of using such approaches in the field of materials science is to achieve high-throughput identification and quantification of essential features along the process-structure-property-performance chain. In this contribution, machine learning…

Carbon Quantum Dots for Biomedical Applications: Review and Analysis

Nayab Azam, Murtaza Najabat Ali, Tooba Javaid Khan · 24 Aug 2021

Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) are a new type of nano-carbons that are currently favored over semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) because of their solubility, low toxicity, eco-friendliness, and cheap and facile synthesis giving desired optical characteristics. Moreover, their physiochemical properties can be controlled by their synthetic route. CQDs can emit fluorescence in the range from the…

A Comprehensive Review of Magnetic Nanomaterials Modern Day Theranostics

Saima Gul, Sher Bahadar Khan, Inayat Ur Rehman et al. · 31 Jul 2019

Substances at nanoscale commonly known as “nanomaterials” have always grabbed the attention of the researchers for hundreds of years. Among these different types of nanomaterials, magnetic nanomaterials have been the focus of overwhelming attention during the last two decades as evidenced by an extraordinary increase in number of research papers. Iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles have…

Frontiers in Materials template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Frontiers in Materials format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Frontiers in Materials template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Frontiers format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Frontiers in Materials use?
Frontiers in Materials uses Author–year (Harvard) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, A., Jones, B. and Lee, C. (2023) 'A representative article title', Frontiers in Materials, 12(3), pp. 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Frontiers in Materials?
No. DocuGuru generates the FrontiersinHarvard LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Frontiers-ready Frontiers in Materials document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Frontiers in Materials template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Frontiers in Materials format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
What is Frontiers in Materials?
Frontiers journal. It is a life sciences and medicine journal, published by Frontiers.
Can I export a submission-ready Frontiers in Materials PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Frontiers in Materials template (the FrontiersinHarvard class) that is ready to submit to Frontiers, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
