• The journal states that outstanding articles featuring truly breakthrough developments, such as record performance alone, may also be published when the work is of significant general interest to a community-spanning readership.官方称仅凭创纪录性能等真正突破性进展的优秀文章同样可以发表，前提是工作对跨学科读者群具有普遍意义。
• Core topics include the synthesis of nanostructured and nanoscale materials, quantum materials, two-dimensional and layered materials, and the characterisation of functional nanoscale materials and bio-assemblies.核心方向包括纳米结构材料与纳米尺度材料的合成、量子材料、二维与层状材料以及功能纳米材料与生物组装体的表征。
• The scope covers properties of nanoscale materials, self-assembly and molecular organisation, complex hybrid nanostructures, nanocomposites, nanoparticles and nanoclusters, and nanotubes and molecular nanowires.范围涵盖纳米材料性能、自组装与分子组织、复杂杂化纳米结构、纳米复合材料、纳米颗粒与纳米团簇以及纳米管与分子纳米线。
• Molecular nanoscience, nanocatalysis, theoretical modelling and single-molecule studies are joined by plasmonics, nanoelectronics, molecular electronics and nanophotonics.分子纳米科学、纳米催化、理论建模与单分子研究之外，亦涵盖等离子体激元学、纳电子学、分子电子学与纳米光子学。
• Nanochips, nanosensors, nanofluidics and nanofabrication, carbon-based nanoscale materials and devices, biomimetic materials, nanobiotechnology and bionanomaterials are further research areas.纳米芯片、纳米传感器、纳流体与纳米制造、碳基纳米材料与器件、仿生材料、纳米生物技术与生物纳米材料是另外的研究领域。
• Nanomedicine and the regulatory approaches and risk assessment of nanomaterials complete the stated topics, and the journal publishes communications, reviews, minireviews, focus articles and comments.纳米医学以及纳米材料的监管方法与风险评估构成所述主题的其余部分，本刊发表通讯、综述、小综述、焦点文章与评论。

History

• The journal was launched in 2016 as the newest title in the Horizons series of the Royal Society of Chemistry, and its inaugural editorial welcomed readers to a home for rapid reports of exceptional significance containing conceptual advances and new insights.本刊 2016 年创刊，是英国皇家化学会（Horizons）系列的最新刊物，创刊社论欢迎读者来到快速发表具有卓越意义的概念进展与新洞见的园地。^[1]
• It was developed as a collaborative venture between the Royal Society of Chemistry and the National Center for Nanoscience and Technology in Beijing, working alongside the established sister journal Nanoscale, with which it shares editorial and advisory board members.本刊由英国皇家化学会与北京国家纳米科学中心合作创办，与老牌姊妹刊（Nanoscale）协同运作，两刊的编辑与顾问编委存在交叉。
• The founding editorial board was chaired by Harold Craighead of Cornell University, with Dirk Guldi of Friedrich-Alexander-Universitat Erlangen-Nurnberg and Xiaodong Chen of Nanyang Technological University as scientific editors.首届编委会由康奈尔大学的（Harold Craighead）主持，埃尔朗根-纽伦堡弗里德里希-亚历山大大学的（Dirk Guldi）与南洋理工大学的（Xiaodong Chen）任科学编辑。
• The journal appeared six times a year from 2016 to 2019 and moved to monthly publication with twelve issues a year from Volume 7 in 2020.2016 年至 2019 年本刊每年出版 6 期，2020 年第 7 卷起改为月刊，每年出版 12 期。
• It is a hybrid journal with no submission or publication fees through the subscription route, while authors who choose gold open access pay an article processing charge of 3,100 pounds, which can be waived under institutional open access agreements.本刊为混合型期刊，经订阅途径投稿与发表均不收费，选择金色开放获取的作者需支付 3100 英镑文章处理费，机构间开放获取协议可予减免。
• Journal Impact Factors were 10.989 in 2021 and 11.684 in 2022, then 6.6 in 2024 and 6.4 in 2025, and the 2025 Journal Citation Reports place the journal in Q2 of materials science, multidisciplinary (134 of 472), chemistry, physical (57 of 191) and nanoscience and nanotechnology (50 of 148).本刊影响因子 2021 年为 10.989、2022 年为 11.684、2024 年为 6.6、2025 年为 6.4，2025 年 JCR 中在材料科学综合（134/472）、物理化学（57/191）与纳米科学与纳米技术（50/148）三个类别均列 Q2。
