Nature Reviews Materials Nature Reviews Materials is an international monthly multi-disciplinary review journal, which aims to provide timely, authoritative Reviews and Perspectives that are of broad interest and of exceptional quality. Materials science is a diverse and fast-growing discipline, which has moved from a largely engineering focus to a position where it has an increasing impact on other classical disciplines such as physics, chemistry and biology. Materials science encompasses both fundamental and applied studies. No other journal in materials science offers the scientific breadth and vast number of Reviews that Nature Reviews Materials provides. http://feeds.nature.com/natrevmats/rss/current Nature Publishing Group en © 2025 Macmillan Publishers Limited, part of Springer Nature.
