Calls for papers

This Collection invites original research on the design, implementation, and evaluation of smart mobility solutions, aiming to advance sustainable, efficient, and user-centred transportation.

This Collection welcomes original research articles on the use of nanotechnology for space and aerospace applications.

With this cross-journal Collection, the editors at Nature Biomedical Engineering, Nature Medicine, Nature Neuroscience, Nature Biotechnology, Nature Communications, Communications Medicine, Communications Biology, and Scientific Reports invite manuscripts that highlight the development, use and insight obtained from applying neuroengineering approaches.

This Collection is dedicated to bringing together research efforts aimed at facilitating material innovation—for example, exploring emerging materials such as Ga₂O₃ and diamond—and advancing architectural design, including the monolithic integration of power and control elements. It also welcomes studies focused on incorporating intelligent power modules, such as digital control, sensing, and adaptive functionalities, to enhance system-level reliability, diagnostics, and autonomous operation.

This Scientific Reports collection delves into various dimensions of sustainable river management, encompassing biodiversity conservation, pollution mitigation, and innovative technological innovations.

This Scientific Reports Collection invites original research on zoonotic diseases transmitted by household pets, emphasising microbial etiology, transmission pathways, public health risks, and preventive strategies to reduce infection risk at the human–animal interface.

This Collection invites original research articles on optical coatings, focusing on advanced materials, fabrication techniques, and applications.

In recognition of the role this research plays in UN Sustainability Goal 3, this Collection is open to original research into prevention strategies for postoperative infections, including but not limited to studies focusing on healthcare worker- and patient-related approaches and studies developing and assessing materials designed to reduce infections.

This Collection welcomes original research articles on the application of quantum technologies in healthcare.

This Collection welcomes original research articles that explore clinical, translational and preclinical studies with a focus on pathophysiology, diagnostics, treatment and long-term outcomes.
