Matter, a sister journal to Cell, is a monthly journal encompassing the general field of materials science, from nano to macro, fundamentals to application. Recognizing that materials discovery and development facilitate groundbreaking technologies bridging multiple disciplines, Matter will embrace all significant advances in materials research, encompassing the previously unknown and the innovative.

A key focus will be on transformative research, related to fundamental structure, synthesis and assembly, properties and performance of emerging material systems, as well as novel characterization methods, thereby encapsulating key aspects of materials science. Materials of focus can be any state, any scale, any composition – i.e., any Matter - with scientific or technological interest, theoretical or otherwise.

Matter will highlight material type and scale of interest for each study, while also explicitly assessing the stage of material development, click here for more details. In this way, while still stressing fundamental science, materials advancement and progression can be tracked and put into context of potential impact, from concept to societal usage.

Matter provides full-length research articles, reviews, topical perspectives, paper previews, opinions, personnel stories, and other editorial content of general interest to the global materials community. The journal aims to be the premier resource for researchers in both academia and industry, providing a platform of inspiration for the next generation of materials scientists.

Matter 是 Cell 的姊妹杂志，是一份月刊，涵盖材料科学的一般领域，从纳米到宏观，从基础到应用。认识到材料的发现和开发促进了跨学科的突破性技术，Matter 将涵盖材料研究的所有重大进展，包括以前未知的和创新的。

重点将放在变革性研究上，涉及基本结构、合成和组装、新兴材料系统的性质和性能以及新颖的表征方法，从而涵盖材料科学的关键方面。重点材料可以是任何状态、任何规模、任何成分 - 即任何物质 - 具有科学或技术兴趣，理论或其他方面。

Matter 将重点介绍每项研究的材料类型和感兴趣的规模，同时明确评估材料开发的阶段，单击此处了解更多详细信息。这样，在仍然强调基础科学的同时，可以跟踪材料的进步和发展，并将其置于从概念到社会应用的潜在影响背景中。

Matter 提供完整的研究文章、评论、主题观点、论文预览、观点、人员故事和其他全球材料界普遍感兴趣的编辑内容。该期刊旨在成为学术界和工业界研究人员的首要资源，为下一代材料科学家提供灵感平台。
