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.
