expertise with insights from world-leading academics.
-- High Reproducibility: Independent verification of key experiments
ensures reliable, trustworthy results, building greater confidence for
industry and investors.

industry, and academic communities maximize global influence.

perspectives, creating a truly global, inclusive platform.
The journal is now open for submissions (https://submission.springernature.com/new-submission/44503/3) and warmly invites the global academic community to contribute in the following ways: submitting ground-breaking research; joining as a reviewer to help establish rigorous academic standards; and endorsing Watt by sharing it within industry networks.
