Nature Materials

Journal Title：Nature Materials

Nature Materials is a monthly multi-disciplinary journal aimed at bringing together cutting-edge research across the entire spectrum of materials science and engineering. Materials research is a diverse and fast-growing discipline, which has moved from a largely applied, engineering focus to a position where it has an increasing impact on other classical disciplines such as physics, chemistry and biology. Nature Materials covers all applied and fundamental aspects of the synthesis/processing, structure/composition, properties and performance of materials, where "materials" are identified as substances in the condensed states (liquid, solid, colloidal) designed or manipulated for technological ends.

Nature Materials provides a forum for the development of a common identity among materials scientists while encouraging researchers to cross established subdisciplinary divides. To achieve this, and strengthen the cohesion of the community, the journal takes an interdisciplinary, integrated and balanced approach to all areas of materials research while fostering the exchange of ideas between scientists involved in the different disciplines. Nature Materials is an invaluable resource for all scientists, in both academia and industry, who are active in the process of discovering and developing materials and materials-related concepts.

Nature Materials offers an engaging, informative and accessible product including papers of exceptional significance and quality in a discipline which promises to have great influence on the development of society in years to come.

《自然材料》是一份月刊，旨在汇集整个材料科学和工程领域的前沿研究。材料研究是一门多元化且快速发展的学科，它已经从主要关注应用工程转变为对物理、化学和生物等其他传统学科产生越来越大影响的领域。《自然材料》涵盖了材料合成/加工、结构/成分、性质和性能的所有应用和基本方面，其中“材料”是指为技术目的而设计或操纵的凝聚态（液体、固体、胶体）物质。

《自然材料》为材料科学家提供了一个发展共同身份的论坛，同时鼓励研究人员跨越既定的子学科界限。为了实现这一目标并加强社区的凝聚力，该期刊对所有材料研究领域采取了跨学科、综合和平衡的方法，同时促进了不同学科科学家之间的思想交流。 《自然材料》是学术界和工业界所有积极参与发现和开发材料及材料相关概念的科学家的宝贵资源。

《自然材料》提供了引人入胜、信息丰富且易于理解的产品，其中包括具有特殊意义和质量的论文，这些论文所在的学科有望在未来几年对社会发展产生重大影响。
