Abstract
This inaugural editorial introduces the creation and vision of the Membrane Research, emphasizing its role as a platform for advancing fundamental understanding and technological innovations in membrane science and engineering. The journal aims to bridge the gap between theoretical modeling, numerical simulations, and experimental studies in membrane research, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration across materials science, chemistry, physics, and environmental engineering. Particular attention is given to the development, characterization, and application of diverse membrane materials including polymeric, ceramic, hybrid, metal-organic framework, covalent organic framework, and emerging two-dimensional materials for water treatment, gas separation, energy conversion, and environmental remediation. By highlighting these core directions, the Membrane Research seeks to provide a comprehensive and forward-looking forum for the dissemination of innovative research and for shaping the future of membrane science and technology.
