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.

Spontaneous Hall effect induced by collinear antiferromagnetic order at room temperature
Nature Materials, Published online: 13 December 2024; doi:10.1038/s41563-024-02058-w
The authors report a Hall effect that originates from a fictitious magnetic field associated with antiferromagnetic order that breaks time-reversal symmetry, followed by translation symmetry. -
