What is “Physical science” ? — Physical science is a branch of natural science that studies non-living systems, in contrast to life science.
Cell Reports Physical Science — publishes cutting-edge research across the full spectrum of the physical sciences, including chemistry, physics, materials science, energy science, and related interdisciplinary work. iScience: A journal across the boundaries i stands for interdisciplinary iScience publishes basic and applied research that advances a specific field across life, physical, and earth i stands for sciences. It’s an open access journal with continuous important publication, so research is immediately accessible. i stands for inclusive i stands for immediate i stands for integrity Manuscirpt Navigat ion
