Will artificial intelligence help or hinder progress on the SDGs?
Synthetic data are one of many tools that can drive progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals, but environmental and ethical concerns remain.
Your gateway to scientific excellence
Discover the world’s leading research institutions, explore collaborations, compare research performance, track top papers with Nature Index.
Institution search supports local language names. (Examples: Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, 筑波大学)
The DOI (Digital object identifier) can be found on the online version of the paper on the publisher's website
or by using CrossRef's free DOI lookup service.
View a complete list of all research institutions, their research outputs, collaborations and more. Generate a table of institutions ordered by research outputs, by region or country/territory of interest, sector, subject area or journal group.
The Nature Research Intelligence Topics are created from networks of articles that cite each other, or articles that are very similar to each other, and we have over 30,000 topics at the most granular level, grouped into a 4-level hierarchy.

Nature Index 2024 Materials Science
Materials science is a rapidly growing area of research in journals tracked by the Nature Index and one where the real-world applications are often an essential part of tackling global environmental and health challenges. This supplement focuses on some of these applications and the researchers behind the latest advances.
Nature Index collaborations highlight the most fruitful institutional collaborations that lead to high quality research around the world. Naturally, proximate institutions collaborate the most, which hides the many benefits from collaboration further afield. To address this, the overall leading international collaborators are shown as well as the leading collaborations involving countries/territories outside the top 50 (broadening collaborators).
