The current Collection aims at exploring the role of physical activity in mental, psychological and cognitive health promotion in the diverse educational settings (school system, sport clubs, work-related environment, leisure and spare time). The Collection specifically emphasizes how curricula, pedagogy and organizational culture can incorporate physical activity to support cognitive and psychological wellbeing.

This collection explores the critical role of photon management nanomaterials and nanostructures in driving innovations for next-generation display technologies and sustainable energy devices. It specifically covers the synthesis and application of these materials in Micro-LEDs, PeLEDs, and QLEDs, as well as their integration into radiative cooling, thermal storage, and solar steam generation systems.

This cross-journal collection highlights studies on how geological and geochemical processes concentrate critical elements across environments such as epithermal, skarn and vein deposits, granitic intrusions, and weathering or sedimentary systems.

This special issue presents recent advances in metric fixed point theory and its growing influence across mathematics, engineering, and applied sciences. It welcomes work on new theoretical results and innovative applications of fixed-point methods in differential equations, nonlinear analysis, optimization, artificial intelligence, and related areas. The aim is to gather cutting‑edge research that strengthens both theory and practice while promoting interdisciplinary approaches.

The collections in this journal are not "special issues". Instead, the papers are grouped together based on their focus on the same type of cancer. This collection was curated by the Editor-in-Chief. The journal’s standard peer review policy applies here. Please see the submission guidelines instruction for authors for the peer review policy.
