The journal has broadened its scope from metals, alloys and ceramics—areas which are of traditional interest for NIMS and Japanese materials scientists—to nanobiomaterials, organic conductors, superconductors, nanoelectromechanical systems, degradation of polymers and other environmental topics. To complement regular papers, STAM also publishes Focus Issues to provide up to date information about discoveries and trends in materials science edited by leading scientists including Nobel laureate, Heinrich Rohrer <
