Scope
- Synthesis and characterisation of zero-, one- and two-dimensional nanomaterials are the journal's material base.零维、一维与二维纳米材料的合成与表征,是期刊的材料基础。
- Nanoelectronics, memristive devices and neuromorphic architectures are treated alongside conventional device physics.纳米电子学、忆阻器件与神经形态架构,与常规器件物理一并讨论。
- Nanofabrication covers lithography, self-assembly and the integration of nanostructures into working devices.纳米制造涵盖光刻、自组装以及将纳米结构集成进可用器件。
- Biomedical nanotechnology includes drug delivery, biosensing, the nano-bio interface and protein corona formation.生物医学纳米技术包括药物递送、生物传感、纳米-生物界面与蛋白冠形成。
- Computational nanotechnology and multiscale modelling provide a further section, from molecular dynamics to device simulation.计算纳米技术与多尺度建模构成另一分栏,从分子动力学延伸到器件模拟。
- Nanophotonics, plasmonics and nanosensors connect optical and electronic function at the nanoscale.纳米光子学、等离激元与纳米传感器,在纳米尺度连接光学与电子功能。
- Energy applications, including batteries, supercapacitors, hydrogen and catalysis, and environmental nanoscience are both in scope.包括电池、超级电容器、氢能与催化在内的能源应用,以及环境纳米科学,均在收稿范围。
History
- The journal was launched in 2019 and reaches volume 8 in 2026, publishing continuously rather than in issues.本刊于 2019 年创办,2026 年出至第 8 卷,采用连续出版而非编期方式。
- It belongs to the wave of physical-science titles that Frontiers added after establishing itself in neuroscience and medicine.本刊属于(Frontiers)在神经科学与医学立足之后新增的一批物质科学刊物。
- Articles appear under a CC BY licence, with costs covered by an article processing charge and no subscription barrier.文章以(CC BY)许可发表,费用由文章处理费覆盖,不设订阅门槛。
- Frontiers reports that about a third of submissions are rejected before review begins, after integrity and scope screening.(Frontiers)称约三分之一的投稿在评审开始前即因诚信与范围审查而被拒。
- The 2025 Journal Impact Factor is 5.8, after 3.8 in 2024, and the journal sits in the second quartile of both materials science and nanoscience.2025 年期刊影响因子为 5.8,2024 年为 3.8,在材料科学与纳米科学两个类别中均处第二四分位。
- Its JCI percentile of 34.78 is well below its JIF percentile, a gap typical of titles whose citation window is still maturing.其期刊引文指标百分位为 34.78,明显低于影响因子百分位,这一落差在引文窗口尚在成熟的期刊中较为常见。
Editors
- Themis Prodromakis of the University of Edinburgh is a field chief editor, working on memristors and neuromorphic electronics.爱丁堡大学的 Themis Prodromakis 为总主编之一,研究忆阻器与神经形态电子学。
- Bingqing Wei of the University of Delaware is the other field chief editor, with expertise in nanomaterials and energy storage.特拉华大学的 Bingqing Wei 为另一位总主编,专长为纳米材料与储能。
- John Fourkas of the University of Maryland leads the nanofabrication section.马里兰大学的 John Fourkas 主持纳米制造分栏。
- Giancarlo Franzese of the University of Barcelona leads computational nanotechnology.巴塞罗那大学的 Giancarlo Franzese 主持计算纳米技术分栏。
- Further sections cover biomedical nanotechnology, nanoelectronics, nanophotonics and energy, each with its own specialty chief editor.其余分栏包括生物医学纳米技术、纳米电子学、纳米光子学与能源,各设栏目主编。
- Review is single blind, and authors submit to a named section rather than to the journal as a whole.评审采用单盲方式,作者须投递至具体分栏,而非笼统投给期刊。
