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.

Relativistic Mott transition in twisted WSe<sub>2</sub> tetralayers
Nature Materials, Published online: 08 October 2025; doi:10.1038/s41563-025-02359-8
The authors present magnetotransport measurements of tetralayer WSe2, which serves as a simulator for correlated Dirac fermion physics. They tune the interactions using the twist angle and electric field, resulting in a semimetal–Mott insulator transition.

Quantitative and mechanistic insights into proton dynamics for fast energy storage
Nature Materials, Published online: 03 October 2025; doi:10.1038/s41563-025-02366-9
Contributions of vehicular and structural proton transport are quantified in phosphoric acid electrolytes, with linking structural diffusion to hydrogen bonds. The derived conductivity model guides electrolyte-conductivity trends and identifies 5.8 M for low-temperature batteries.

Amorphous phase-change memory alloy with no resistance drift
Nature Materials, Published online: 01 October 2025; doi:10.1038/s41563-025-02361-0
Resistance drift, also known as the temporal change in electrical resistance, hampers the application of phase-change materials for neuromorphic computing. Here an amorphous CrTe3 thin film with no resistance drift in the working temperature from −200 °C to 165 °C is reported.

Large moiré superstructure of stacked incommensurate charge density waves
Nature Materials, Published online: 01 October 2025; doi:10.1038/s41563-025-02360-1
The authors identify two coexisting incommensurate charge density waves whose interplay leads to joint commensuration and a long-period moiré structure.
