A Heartfelt Thank You from the Chairs of AMIC2025

What an incredible three days it has been at AMIC2025! We’ve shared science, laughter, meals, music—and most importantly, a vibrant exchange of ideas. From insightful sessions to spontaneous conversations over coffee and wine, the energy, curiosity, and generosity from all of you made this event truly special. To be honest, this conference has far exceeded our expectations. We witnessed old friends reconnect, new friendships blossom, bold ideas spark, and exciting collaborations begin to take shape. It was a powerful reminder of what can happen when passionate minds come together. ​ Beyond the talks and posters—and through your interactions with the many editors and team members in attendance—we hope you’ve also discovered a sense of belonging. A sense of being part of something bigger: a growing, collaborative, and supportive ACS AMI family. To our speakers, session chairs, attendees, sponsors, volunteers, and everyone working behind the scenes: thank you for bringing AMIC2025 to life. We wish you safe travels, continued inspiration, and we look forward to seeing what unfolds next. Until we meet again. Terima kasih, thank you, 谢谢, நன்றி (naṉṟi)！ ​ Chairs of AMIC2025 Prof. Xing Yi Ling – Nanyang Technological University, Editor-in-Chief, ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces Prof. Peter Müller-Buschbaum – Technical University of Munich, Deputy Editor, ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces Prof. Huaping Xu – Tsinghua University, Executive Editor, ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces Prof. Jianfang Wang – Chinese University of Hong Kong, Associate Editor, ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces​​
