Published on 31 July 2024

Effective 1 July 2024, EPJ H: Historical Perspectives on Contemporary Physics has merged with one of the very few other journals exclusively devoted to the history of physics, the Quaderni di Storia della Fisica. The new Editors-in-Chief, Alexander Blum and Matteo Leone, take the baton from the previous Editor-in-Chief, James D. Wells, and his predecessors Wolf Beiglböck, who founded EPJH in 2010 and was responsible for shaping its profile, Francesco Guerra and Michael Eckert.

With the merger EPJH has undergone a major editorial reorganization and in their Editorial Alexander Blum and Matteo Leone describe how they see this as an opportunity for the journal’s growth and development.

Alexander Blum is a historian of science and has worked extensively on the history and foundations of quantum mechanics, quantum field theory, and general relativity. He originally joined the EPJH editorial board in 2019.

Matteo Leone is professor of didactics and history of physics and Director of the Museum of Physics at the University of Turin. His research focuses on the history of physics in the 19th and 20th centuries and on the historical scientific heritage.
