Nanoscale

A new peer reviewed journal publishing experimental and theoretical work across the breadth of nanoscience and nanotechnology



About Nanoscale


Nanoscale is a collaborative venture between RSC Publishing and a leading nanoscience research centre, the National Center for Nanoscience and Technology (NCNST) in Beijing, China.

The journal publishes monthly issues, complementing and building on the nano content already published across the RSC Publishing journal portfolio. 

Papers are handled by three high-profile regional editorial offices:

Asia-PacificChunli Bai (Editor-in-Chief), Director of NCNST and Executive Vice President of the Chinese Academy of Sciences
EuropeMarkus Niederberger (Editor-in-Chief), ETH Zurich, Switzerland
North AmericaFrancesco Stellacci (Editor-in-Chief), Massachusetts Institute of Technology, MA, USA
