The International Conference on Nanomaterial and Atomaterial Science and Applications (ICNASA 2025) was held from November 11–15 in Melbourne, Australia, gathering leading experts and emerging scholars from around the world. Scilight participated as an exhibitor, presenting our materials science journals and engaging directly with researchers and industry professionals.

Throughout the conference, the Scilight booth attracted considerable attention from visiting scholars. Attendees explored our recently published journals and academic papers, while our team exchanged insights on emerging research trends and publishing needs. We also held in-depth discussions with several editorial board members and researchers, gaining valuable perspectives on journal development. These conversations will help us further refine the quality and profile of our journals to better support the international scientific community.

During the conference’s Journal Talk session, Scilight presented its publishing background, core values, and long-term vision. The session also created an open forum for discussion with fellow editors and researchers on practical challenges in academic publishing, including standards for AI-assisted writing and best practices for peer review in materials science. These exchanges provided useful reference points for navigating shared issues across the publishing landscape.

One of the conference highlights was a dedicated 3D printing design competition for young students. Local primary and secondary school participants demonstrated remarkable creativity and scientific curiosity. Prof. Baohua Jia, the conference chair, emphasized that this initiative aims to guide the youth from technology consumers to future innovators. Scilight supports this view and recognizes the broader role of academic conferences in fostering scientific culture and social engagement.

As ICNASA 2025 came to a close, Scilight reaffirmed its commitment to advancing scientific communication and delivering high-quality, professional publishing services for the materials science community. We extend our appreciation to the organizers, participants, and partners who contributed to the success of the conference, and we look forward to continuing these valuable conversations in future academic forums.
