Discover Materials

Aims & Scope

Discover Materials is part of the Discover journal series committed to providing a streamlined submission process, rapid review and publication, and a high level of author service at every stage.

It is a broad, open access journal publishing research from across all fields of materials research.

Discover Materials covers all areas where materials are activators for innovation and disruption, providing cutting-edge research findings to researchers, academicians, students, and engineers.

It considers the whole value chain, ranging from fundamental and applied research to the synthesis, characterisation, modelling and application of materials.

Moreover, we especially welcome papers connected to so-called ‘green materials’, which offer unique properties including natural abundance, low toxicity, economically affordable and versatility in terms of physical and chemical properties.

They are the activators of an eco-sustainable economy serving all innovation sectors.

Indeed, they can be applied in numerous scientific and technological applications including energy, electronics, building, construction and infrastructure, materials science and engineering applications and pollution management and technology.
