Journal of Materials Research (JMR) publishes the latest advances about the creation of new materials and materials with novel functionalities, fundamental understanding of processes that control the response of materials, and development of materials with significant performance improvements relative to state-of-the-art materials. JMR welcomes papers that highlight novel processing techniques, the application and development of new analytical tools, and interpretation of fundamental materials science to achieve enhanced materials properties and uses. Papers reporting the latest advances in the following materials research areas are welcome.

2D and nanomaterials
Additive manufacturing
Advances in materials characterization methods and techniques
Artificial intelligence for materials discovery
Bioinspired materials
Biomedical materials, regenerative medicine and drug discovery
Computational materials science, modeling and theory
Electronic, photonic and magnetic materials
Energy conversion and storage materials
Functional and Responsive materials
Nanomechanics and testing
Novel synthesis and processing of materials
Organic and hybrid materials
Quantum materials
Structural and thermal materials

Papers on topics in mature research areas such as building materials, recycled and natural materials, and traditional research areas such as corrosion, manufacturing and statistically-designed experiments, tribology and wear, traditional steel technology, welding and related materials fall outside the scope of JMR and are encouraged for submission elsewhere.
