Artificial intelligence (AI) is playing an increasingly pivotal role in revolutionizing the field of engineering, triggering a new era of technological and industrial evolution. A series of recent breakthroughs in areas like natural language processing, computer vision, and machine learning, with the Nobel Prize-winning work in artificial neural networks and protein structure prediction serving as prime examples, have effectively bridged the gap between the physical and digital worlds. The emergence of general AI technologies, especially large language models, has given rise to new paradigms such as intelligent agents and embodied intelligence. These rapid progressions are deeply influencing the engineering domain, leading us closer to the objective of “Engineering for the benefit of humanity, technology for a better future.”
In an effort to fully explore the transformative potential of AI in engineering, Engineering is now inviting submissions from global experts and scholars. The journal is on the lookout for high-quality contributions that showcase novel AI methodologies, algorithms, and applications aimed at solving real-world engineering problems. It particularly encourages submissions that go beyond minor improvements and instead present substantial advancements with verifiable impact. Submissions can take the form of original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and incisive perspective pieces.
The journal welcomes submissions on the current status and key directions of AI applications in a wide range of engineering areas. These include, but are not restricted to, intelligent manufacturing, where AI can optimize production processes and improve efficiency; AI-enabled new materials, which might involve using AI to design and develop materials with unique properties; AI-enabled transportation, for instance, in autonomous vehicle systems and traffic management; AI-enabled energy, such as in optimizing power generation and distribution; AI-enabled smart cities, which can enhance urban planning and resource management; AI-enabled environment, perhaps for environmental monitoring and prediction; AI-enabled agriculture, like in crop yield prediction and precision farming; and AI-enabled medicine, for example, in medical image analysis and disease diagnosis.
Regarding submission requirements, original research articles should be around 6,000 words. Comprehensive reviews can range from 6,000 to 8,000 words, while insightful perspective pieces are expected to be 3,000 words. Views & Comments should be limited to 2,000 words. Notably, the submission invitation is ongoing, providing researchers with ample time to prepare and submit their work.
Engineering, which was launched in 2015, is a collaborative effort between the Chinese Academy of Engineering, the Strategic Consulting Center of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Higher Education Press, and Elsevier. This monthly open-access journal offers a platform for high-level communication and publication of significant engineering achievements. By doing so, it promotes the accelerated development of engineering technology for the betterment of humanity and a more promising future. The journal features various sections, including news highlights, perspective articles, engineering achievements, and research papers. It is indexed in authoritative databases such as SCI, EI, Scopus, DOAJ, CSCD, and CSTPCD, boasting a latest SCI impact factor of 10.1 and ranking in Q1 in the engineering, multidisciplinary category.
For more information or to submit a manuscript, interested parties can visit the journal’s official website at http://www.journals.elsevier.com/engineering. The journal anticipates the active participation and valuable contributions of the global research community, as together, they can drive innovation and development in the field of engineering through the power of artificial intelligence.

Bacteria play key roles in degrading organic matter, both in the soil and in aquatic ecosystems. While most bacteria digest large molecules externally, allowing other community members to share and scavenge, some bacteria selfishly take up entire molecules before digesting them internally. In a paper publishing April 10 in the Cell Press journal Cell Reports, researchers document “selfish polysaccharide uptake” in freshwater ecosystems for the first time. In Croatia’s Kozjak and Crniševo Lakes, they found that nutrient hoarding allows selfish species ...
A team led by Satoya Nakano and Kengo Tachihara at Nagoya University in Japan has revealed new insights into the motion of massive stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), a small galaxy neighboring the Milky Way. Their findings suggest that the gravitational pull of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), the SMC’s larger companion, may be tearing the smaller one apart. This discovery reveals a new pattern in the motion of these stars that could transform our understanding of galaxy evolution and interactions. The results were published ...
Researchers at McMaster University have identified six key factors in the first three years of life that influence the trajectory of obesity in South Asian children.
The findings offer parents, primary care practitioners and policymakers new insights into addressing childhood obesity for a group of children who have a higher prevalence of abdominal fat and cardiometabolic risk factors, as well as a predisposition to diabetes.
“We know that current measures of childhood obesity such as the body mass index (BMI) don’t work well for South Asians because of the so called ‘thin-fat’ phenotype: South Asian newborns are characterized as low birth weight, but proportionally ...
Only 9.5% of plastic materials produced globally in 2022 were manufactured from recycled materials. The findings, reported in Communications Earth & Environment, are part of a comprehensive analysis of the global plastics sector, which also reveals a large increase in the amount of plastic being disposed of by incineration and substantial regional differences in plastic consumption.
Plastic production has increased from two million tonnes per year in 1950 to 400 million tonnes per year in 2022 and ...
About The Study: In this cross-sectional survey study, although overall influenza vaccination rates changed little from 2019 to 2022, they increased substantially for Black and Hispanic older adults, particularly those in rural areas, and decreased for some groups of white older adults. Determining the reasons for these divergent changes in influenza vaccination rates is a high priority for future research.

About The Study: In this cohort study of children and adolescents, associations between neighborhood characteristics and mental health evolved from childhood through adolescence. These findings suggest that targeted interventions in disadvantaged neighborhoods and strategies to protect young children from air pollution are essential. A comprehensive approach is recommended to incorporate air pollution, green space, and socioeconomic status not only in residential neighborhoods but also in other settings, such as schools.

Background and objectives
Patients with acute liver failure (ALF) or acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) are at high risk of bleeding with traditional artificial liver support systems. To address the bleeding risk in liver failure patients, the safety of regional mesylate anticoagulation (RMA) in centrifugation artificial liver support systems (cALSS) is proposed for study.
Methods
In this prospective single-arm study, ALF and ACLF patients were treated with cALSS using RMA. Coagulation function was monitored, and the predictors of mesylate dose were analyzed ...

A recent study published in Engineering presents a novel approach to predict Salmonella antimicrobial resistance, a growing concern for public health. The research, led by Le Zhang from Sichuan University, combines large language models (LLMs) and quantum computing to develop a predictive platform.
Salmonella is a common foodborne pathogen. The overuse of antimicrobials and genetic mutations have led to the rise of antimicrobial-resistant Salmonella strains, making it crucial to predict resistance accurately for effective treatment. However, traditional methods like bacterial antimicrobial susceptibility tests (ASTs) are inefficient, ...
