Scope
Nanoscale Horizons is a premier journal publishing first reports of exceptional significance across the breadth of nanoscience and nanotechnology research. It is an innovative, community-focused, dynamic journal guided by world-renowned editorial board members.
Nanoscale Horizons is a collaborative venture between the Royal Society of Chemistry and a leading nanoscience research centre, the National Center for Nanoscience and Technology (NCNST) in Beijing, China.
Nanoscale Horizons features cutting-edge community-spanning research that bridges the various disciplines involved with nanoscience and nanotechnology, including the areas of physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, materials, energy/environment, information technology, detection science, healthcare and drug discovery, and electronics.
Topics covered in the journal include, but are not limited to the following.
- Synthesis of nanostructured and nanoscale 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
For publication in Nanoscale Horizons papers must be of exceptional significance and quality and of significant interest to the broad international nanoscience and nanotechnology community. All primary research in the journal should demonstrate a new concept, as well as new insights into the topic.
