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.

Rolling carbon on a rock
Nature Materials, Published online: 21 February 2025; doi:10.1038/s41563-025-02151-8
A method is reported to create chiral rolls from two-dimensional atomic layers such as graphene with controlled rolling angles, which show optical activity and spin-selective transport dependent on the chiral lattice structures. -
When stars make loopy networks
Nature Materials, Published online: 21 February 2025; doi:10.1038/s41563-025-02157-2
The high-frequency elastic response reveals interpenetrated and polycatenated structures in DNA nanostar network materials. -
Origins of elasticity in molecular materials
Nature Materials, Published online: 21 February 2025; doi:10.1038/s41563-025-02133-w
Elasticity is ubiquitous in everyday life, but the molecular origin of the restoring force remains elusive. Here the authors use a series of density functional theory calculations to understand how interaction energies change as a result of the bending of molecular crystals. -
Graphene rolls with tunable chirality
Nature Materials, Published online: 21 February 2025; doi:10.1038/s41563-025-02127-8
A wax-aided immersion methodology is developed to yield graphene rolls with tunable chiral angles; these graphene rolls exhibit promising chiral electronic properties beyond those of other carbon allotropes. -
