Calls for papers

An interdisciplinary approach is being taken to address the challenge of creating more efficient and intelligent computing systems that can perform diverse tasks, to design hardware with increasing complexity from single device to system architecture level, and to develop new theories and brain-inspired algorithms for future computing. In this cross-journal collection, we aim to bring together cutting-edge research of neuromorphic architecture and hardware, computing algorithms and theories, and the related innovative applications.

In this cross-journal Collection, across Nature Communications, Communications Chemistry, Communications Materials and Scientific Reports, we focus on different forms of self-assembled soft matter, from fundamental studies to applied systems. This includes, for example, coacervation and liquid-liquid phase separation, chiral systems and polymer assemblies.

This cross-journal Collection between Nature Communications, Communications Physics and Scientific Reports combines the latest research on the topological physics of moiré heterostructures.

This cross-journal Collection brings together the latest developments in electrodes, electrolytes, and battery components used in aqueous and non-aqueous sodium-based battery applications.

This cross-journal Collection between Nature Communications, Communications Materials and Scientific Reports brings together the latest advances in the use of high-pressure methods to induce, manipulate, and probe novel states of matter, and to improve the fundamental understanding and technological potential of quantum materials.

This cross-journal Collection between Nature Communications, Communications Materials, Communications Physics and Scientific Reports brings together the latest research and development in perovskite-based tandem solar cells.

This collection hosted by Communications Physics, Nature Communications and Scientific Reports aims to highlight recent advances and applications of AI and machine learning methods in solid-state materials science with a focus on crystalline systems.

This collection encourages submissions related to hydrogen evolution catalysis, particularly where hydrogen gas is the primary product. This is a cross-journal partnership between the Energy Materials team at Nature Communications with Communications Chemistry, Communications Engineering, Communications Materials, and Scientific Reports. We seek studies covering a range of perspectives including materials design & development, catalytic performance, or underlying mechanistic understanding. Other works focused on potential applications and large-scale demonstration of hydrogen evolution are also welcome.

The editors at Nature Communications, npj Science of Food, Communications Biology and Scientific Reports invite submissions in the areas of alternative/non-animal protein sources, cultivated meat technology (including cell lines, tissue engineering, culture media) and general considerations around cultivated meat.

This cross-journal collection is dedicated to the development and application of automation tools (software and hardware) for chemistry and materials science, curated by Editors from Nature Communications, Communications Chemistry, Communications Engineering, Communications Materials and Scientific Reports.
