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.

Exploiting strained epitaxial germanium for scaling low-noise spin qubits at the micrometre scale
Nature Materials, Published online: 06 July 2025; doi:10.1038/s41563-025-02276-w
The authors measure electric and magnetic noise, an important source of decoherence for quantum devices, on hole spin qubit devices in quantum wells in Ge/SiGe heterostructures, revealing a reduced charge noise on devices fabricated on Ge wafers.

Accelerated data-driven materials science with the Materials Project
Nature Materials, Published online: 03 July 2025; doi:10.1038/s41563-025-02272-0
Materials design and informatics have become increasingly prominent over the past several decades. Using the Materials Project as an example, this Perspective discusses how properties are calculated and curated, how this knowledge can be used for materials discovery, and the challenges in modelling complex material systems or managing software architecture.

A carbon-nanotube-based electron source with a 0.3-eV energy spread and an unconventional time delay
Nature Materials, Published online: 02 July 2025; doi:10.1038/s41563-025-02279-7
Metal-tip-based electron sources are constrained by a trade-off between energy spread and pulse width. Here the authors report a carbon-nanotube-based electron source with a 0.3-eV energy spread and an electron pulse width of about 13 fs.

Multimaterial 3D-printed structures from colour-selective resins
Nature Materials, Published online: 01 July 2025; doi:10.1038/s41563-025-02250-6
A resin comprising a hybrid epoxy–acrylate monomer and wavelength-selective photosensitizer components achieved rapid, high-resolution 3D printing of multimaterial structures. This technique produced structures that emulate natural mechanical gradients and functional structures including a spring for compressive damping, a knee joint model for smooth motion and a stretchable substrate for wearable electronics.
