Aims & Scope

NANO is an international peer-reviewed monthly journal for nanoscience and nanotechnology that presents forefront fundamental research and new emerging topics. It features timely scientific reports of new results and technical breakthroughs and also contains interesting review articles about recent hot issues. NANO provides an ideal forum for presenting original reports of theoretical and experimental nanoscience and nanotechnology research. Research areas of interest include: nanomaterials including nano-related biomaterials, new phenomena and newly developed characterization tools, fabrication methods including by self-assembly, device applications, and numerical simulation, modeling, and theory. However, in light of the current stage development of nanoscience, manuscripts on numerical simulation, modeling, and/or theory only without experimental evidences are considered as not pertinent to the scope of NANO.
