At Stanford Advanced Materials (SAM), we welcome high-quality, original content that helps professionals stay informed, make smarter purchasing decisions, and stay up to date in materials science.
What We're Looking For
We're looking for original, unpublished articles that provide clear, well-researched insights into the world of advanced materials. Your content should not only be unique but also deliver practical value to our readers, whether through data-backed analysis, real-world applications, or industry perspectives.
You may submit a full draft, a partial outline, or a short pitch (1–2 paragraphs summarizing your topic and why it matters to our audience). The more complete your submission, the easier it will be for us to evaluate and provide feedback.
Topics of Interest
We're particularly interested in content related to:
-
Rare earth materials
-
Advanced ceramics and high-purity metals
-
Thin film deposition (PVD, CVD, sputtering targets)
-
Technical applications of materials in energy, aerospace, semiconductors, or electronics
Other technical or application-based content related to advanced materials is also welcome.

All submissions must be original, well-structured, and professionally written.
Published articles include author bylines and may link to your website or LinkedIn profile.
Share your expertise and become part of our materials science community. We look forward to your contribution!
Review Process & Publishing
We aim to review most submissions within 5 business days. If accepted, your article will be published on the appropriate language version of our site, and you'll receive a confirmation email. Due to high volume, we regret that we may not reply to all rejected pitches.
