Nature and Nature family add three new members: Nature Energy, Nature Microbiology, and Nature Reviews Materials.

Nature Energy is an online-only journal dedicated to exploring all aspects of this on-going discussion, from the generation and storage of energy, to its distribution and management, the needs and demands of the different actors, and the impacts that energy technologies and policies have on societies. They have a particular interest in studies that advance the knowledge and inform the development of next-generation technologies and solutions. Nature Energy provides a forum for all parties active at the frontiers of energy to come together and learn about the different facets of this sector. In addition to original research in the natural sciences and the social and behavioural sciences, Nature Energy also publishes Review Articles, Perspectives, Comment and Opinion, Analysis, News and Views and Research Highlights, covering the many issues of interest to the diverse energy community. An editor, Dr. Changjun (Alex) Zhang will be responsible for China’s matter.

Nature Reviews Materials is an online-only journal for the weekly publication of Reviews, Perspectives and Comments in all scientific disciplines within materials science. It aims to be balanced and objective analyses of the selected topic - with descriptions of relevant scientific literature and discussions that are easy to grasp for recent graduates in any materials-science related discipline, as well as informing principal investigators and industry-based research scientists of the latest advances. Reviews should provide the authors' insight into future directions and their opinion of the major challenges faced by researchers in the field. The Comments aim to address topical issues in materials science or offer a short, authorative opinion on a scientific area within materials science.

Like all Nature-branded journals, Nature Energy and Nature Reviews Materials are characterized by a dedicated team of professional editors, a fair and rigorous peer-review process, high standards of copy-editing and production, swift publication and editorial independence.
