About Applied Nano
Aims
Applied Nano (ISSN 2673-3501) is an international and interdisciplinary open access journal devoted to publish original works (reviews, regular research papers and communications) in any field of study involving the application of nanoscience and nanotechnology. It will thus include papers owing to a wide range of areas, covering chemistry, physics, materials science, biosciences, medicine, environmental and water sciences, energy storage and conversion, electronics, to make a few relevant examples.
Scope
As nanomaterials are proving each day more to be able to offer solutions to an increasingly wide range of different questions, we will give a particular emphasis to exploitation of nanosized objects and nanostructures addressing particular needs and/or devoted to resolution of specific problems. Thus, works that synthesize information suggesting practical usage or showing useful applications will be preferred.
A short list of possible application sections is following, with some examples of possible keywords to define the section.
