CAT and Springer Nature Strive to Connect Science and Industry

— October 5, 2025 — Tech
CATL, a prominent battery manufacturer, has collaborated with the academic publisher Springer Nature to connect science and industry through the launch of a new publication titled 'Watt.' This publication will concentrate on research related to energy and carbon neutrality.

The journal is structured around a defined set of editorial principles, termed the 'Five Highs,' which emphasize rigorous peer review, the reproducibility of experimental data, the practical application of research, wide accessibility through an open-access model, and the inclusion of diverse scientific perspectives. Managed by an international editorial board that includes academics and industry scientists, the publication aims to function as a conduit between theoretical scientific advancement and its implementation in industrial and policy contexts. The inaugural issue is scheduled for release in early 2026, and the journal is currently soliciting manuscript submissions from the global research community.
