Scope
Nanoscale is a high impact international journal, publishing high quality research across nanoscience and nanotechnology. Nanoscale publishes a full mix of research articles on experimental and theoretical work, including reviews, communications and full papers. Highly interdisciplinary, Nanoscale appeals to scientists, researchers and professionals interested in nanoscience and nanotechnology, including the areas of physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, materials, energy/environment, information technology, detection science, healthcare and drug discovery, and electronics.
For publication in Nanoscale, papers must report high quality reproducible new work that will be of significant general interest to the journal's wide international readership.
Nanoscale is a collaborative venture between the Royal Society of Chemistry Publishing and a leading nanoscience research centre, the National Center for Nanoscience and Technology (NCNST) in Beijing, China.
The journal publishes weekly issues, complementing and building on the nano content already published across the Royal Society of Chemistry Publishing journal portfolio.
Since its launch in late 2009, Nanoscale has established itself as a platform for high quality, cross-community research that bridges the various disciplines involved with nanoscience and nanotechnology, publishing important research from leading international research groups.
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
Submissions are initially assessed by the Editorial Office and taken through peer-review by our high-profile associate editors.
