Nature Materials
Nature Materials is a multidisciplinary journal aimed at bringing together cutting-edge research across the entire spectrum of materials science and technology. Nature Materials covers all applied and fundamental aspects of the synthesis/processing, structure/composition, properties and performance of materials. Nature Materials provides a forum for the development of a common identity among materials scientists while encouraging researchers to cross established subdisciplinary lines. To achieve this, Nature Materials takes an interdisciplinary, integrated and balanced approach to all areas of materials research while fostering the exchange of ideas between scientists involved in different communities.

Water uptake of solids and its impact on ion transport
Nature Materials, Published online: 31 March 2025; doi:10.1038/s41563-025-02143-8
The uptake of water by polar solids can modify electrical and mass transport properties. This Review discusses hydration mechanisms and surveys case studies of the effects water uptake has on transport properties in different materials. -
Phonon interference in single-molecule junctions
Nature Materials, Published online: 28 March 2025; doi:10.1038/s41563-025-02195-w
Characterizing the interference of phonons at the single-molecule level remains a challenging task. Here, the authors observe and characterize destructive phonon interference in molecular junctions at room temperature. -
Organic light-emitting transistors with high efficiency and narrow emission originating from intrinsic multiple-order microcavities
Nature Materials, Published online: 28 March 2025; doi:10.1038/s41563-025-02191-0
Achieving both high efficiency and narrow emission in organic light-emitting transistors (OLETs) remains a challenge. Here the authors demonstrate laterally integrated OLETs with an intrinsic microcavity that achieve both enhanced efficiency and narrow emission. -
Flaw-size-dependent mechanical interlayer coupling and edge-reconstruction embrittlement in van der Waals materials
Nature Materials, Published online: 28 March 2025; doi:10.1038/s41563-025-02194-x
Fracture behaviours in multilayer h-BN, involving interlayer-friction toughening and edge-reconstruction embrittlement, are identified through in situ experiments and theoretical analyses. -
