Nature Materials

期刊简介：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.

【译文】《自然材料》是一本每月一期的多学科期刊，旨在将材料科学和工程整个领域的尖端研究汇集在一起。材料研究是一个多样化和快速发展的学科，它已经从主要的应用、工程焦点转变为对其他经典学科如物理学、化学和生物学产生越来越大的影响。自然材料涵盖了材料的合成/加工、结构/组成、性能和应用的所有应用和基本方面，其中“材料”被定义为用于技术目的而设计或操作的凝聚态（液体、固体、胶体）物质。自然材料为材料科学家之间共同身份的发展提供了一个论坛，同时鼓励研究人员跨越既定的子学科界限。为了实现这一点，并加强社区的凝聚力，该期刊对所有材料研究的所有领域都采取跨学科、综合和平衡的方法，同时促进不同学科中涉及的科学家的思想交流。自然材料是所有在学术界和工业界积极发现和开发材料和材料相关概念的科学家宝贵的资源。自然材料提供了一种引人入胜、信息丰富且易于获取的产品，包括在某个学科中具有非凡意义和质量的文章，该学科有望在未来几年对社会的发展产生重大影响。
