Advanced Materials is a leading peer-reviewed materials science journal published every two weeks. Advanced Materials includes Communications, Reviews, and Feature Articles from the cutting edge of materials science, including topics in chemistry, physics, nanotechnology, ceramics, metallurgy, and biomaterials.

The 2005 ISI Impact Factor of Advanced Materials was 9.107.

Other journals in the Advanced Materials family are:

  • Advanced Functional Materials, which has the same scope and standards as Advanced Materials, but publishes longer Full Papers and Feature Articles.
  • Small, which focuses on experimental and theoretical studies of fundamental and applied interdisciplinary research at the micro- and nanometer scale.
  • Chemical Vapor Deposition, which publishes Reviews, Short Communications, and Full Papers on all aspects of chemical vapor deposition and related technologies.

Advanced Materials was launched in 1989 (originally bound into the leading chemistry journal Angewandte Chemie) and has been published independently since 1990.

Frequent topics covered by the journal also include liquid crystals, semiconductors, superconductors, optics, lasers, sensors, porous materials, light-emitting materials, magnetic materials, thin films, and colloids.
