Aims & Scope

Published fortnightly, the journal accepts experimental and theoretical work in the form of communications, full papers and reviews, building on and complementing the nano content already published across the Royal Society of Chemistry journal portfolio. Topics include, but are not limited to: Synthesis of nanostructured and nanoscale materials Quantum materials 2D materials Layered materials Layered quantum materials Characterisation of functional nanoscale materials and bio-assemblies Properties of nanoscale materials Self-assembly and molecular organisation Complex hybrid nanostructures Nanocomposites, nanoparticles, nanocrystalline materials, and nanoclusters Nanotubes, molecular nanowires and nanocrystals Molecular nanoscience Nanocatalysis Theoretical modelling Single-molecules Plasmonics Nanoelectronics and molecular electronics Nanophotonics Nanochips, nanosensors, nanofluidics and nanofabrication Carbon-based nanoscale materials and devices Biomimetic materials Nanobiotechnology/bionanomaterials Nanomedicine Regulatory approaches and risk assessment
