Cell Reports Physical Science is a peer-reviewed journal published by Cell Press that focuses on cutting-edge research at the intersection of physical science disciplines—chemistry, physics, materials science, and engineering. Its scope includes investigations into the mechanisms, design, and applications of materials, devices, and systems, particularly where novel physical behavior or the control of matter at small scales matters. The journal aims to bridge basic physical science with technological innovation, publishing works that offer insights into how things work and how they might be applied.
