Aims & Scope

Nanotechnology, Science and Applications is an international, peer-reviewed, Open Access journal that focuses on the science of nanotechnology in a wide range of industrial and academic applications. The journal is characterized by the rapid reporting of reviews, original research, and application studies across all sectors, including engineering, optics, biomedicine, cosmetics, textiles, resource sustainability and science. Applied research into nanomaterials, particles, nanostructures and fabrication, diagnostics and analytics, drug delivery and toxicology constitute the primary direction of the journal. Nanotechnology, Science and Applications will no longer consider meta-analyses for publication.
