European Transactions on Telecommunications (ETT) aims for two ambitious goals:

Experimental Heat Transfer provides a forum for experimentally based high quality research articles and communications in the general area of heat-mass transfer and the related fluid dynamics. In addition to the established multifaceted areas of thermal energy conversion and transport that are intimately connected to heat transfer related research, the journal also communicates contributions from new and emerging areas of research such as micro- and nanoscale science and technology, life sciences and biomedical engineering, manufacturing processes, materials science, and engineering. In all of these areas heat transfer plays an important role, in particular, in the form of innovative experiments and systems for direct measurements and analysis, as well as to verify or complement theoretical models. All contributions to the journal add to the knowledge base in heat transfer from the standpoint of fundamentals or applications. All papers are thoroughly peer refereed. Publication office: Taylor & Francis, Inc., 325 Chestnut Street, Suite 800, Philadelphia, PA 19106.

Flexible and Printed Electronics is a multidisciplinary journal devoted to publishing cutting edge research articles on electronics that can be either flexible, plastic, stretchable, conformable or printed.

Research related to electronic materials, manufacturing techniques, components or systems which meets any one (or more) of the above criteria is suitable for publication in the journal.
