Part of the Science China Press (SCP) journal series, the international peer-reviewed journal covers all aspects of materials science. It is co-sponsored by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the National Natural Science Foundation of China and is published monthly in both print and electronic formats.
Science China Materials fosters communication of high-quality, innovative research results at the interface of materials science with chemistry, physics, biology and engineering, focusing especially on breakthroughs made by Chinese scientists. The journal publishes peer-reviewed articles, reviews, letters on the latest novel research findings, perspectives which discuss research breakthroughs and funding policies, and instructive highlights presenting the results of original research.
