Launching in January 2016, Nature Energy is now open for submissions and inviting high-quality research from across the natural and social sciences. The journal will be dedicated to exploring all aspects of the on-going discussion of energy provision; 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.
Submit your next research paper to the journal. | | | | | | Research Highlights | Top | | | | | Our choice from the recent literature p653 doi:10.1038/nnano.2015.181 | | News and Views | Top | | | | | | Corrections | Top | | | | Correction p660 doi:10.1038/nnano.2015.166 | | | | Correction p660 doi:10.1038/nnano.2015.169 | | Letters | Top | | | | Strain-induced coupling of electrical polarization and structural defects in SrMnO3 films pp661 - 665 Carsten Becher, Laura Maurel, Ulrich Aschauer, Martin Lilienblum, César Magén, Dennis Meier, Eric Langenberg, Morgan Trassin, Javier Blasco, Ingo P.
