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，旨在匯集整個材料科學和工程領域的前沿研究。材料研究是一門多元化且快速發展的學科，它已經從主要關注應用工程轉變為對物理、化學和生物等其他傳統學科產生越來越大影響的領域。《自然材料》涵蓋了材料合成/加工、結構/成分、性質和性能的所有應用和基本方面，其中“材料”是指為技術目的而設計或操縱的凝聚態（液體、固體、膠體）物質。

《自然材料》為材料科學家提供了一個發展共同身份的論壇，同時鼓勵研究人員跨越既定的子學科界限。為了實現這一目標并加強社區的凝聚力，該期刊對所有材料研究領域采取了跨學科、綜合和平衡的方法，同時促進了不同學科科學家之間的思想交流。 《自然材料》是學術界和工業界所有積極參與發現和開發材料及材料相關概念的科學家的寶貴資源。

《自然材料》提供了引人入勝、信息豐富且易于理解的產品，其中包括具有特殊意義和質量的論文，這些論文所在的學科有望在未來幾年對社會發展產生重大影響。

Nature Materials創刊于2002年，由Springer Nature出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋材料科學：綜合 - 工程技術全領域，在行業領域中學術影響力很大，屬于TOP期刊，國際一流期刊，關注度和專業度非常高，所以對原創文章要求創新性很高，過審難度很高，如果您有志于TOP期刊，建議關注此刊。平均審稿速度 約5.4個月 ，影響因子指數37.2，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預警名單，廣大學者值得一試。
