Nanoscale Horizons 10th anniversary
2025 is an exciting year for Nanoscale Horizons as we prepare to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the journal!
This year, the journal will celebrate 10 years of publication. The Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) first launched Nanoscale Horizons back in 2015, publishing its first issue in January of 2016. Since then we have seen the journal develop as the flagship journal of the RSC Nanoscale family aiming to publish high-quality, innovative nanoscience and nanotechnology.
To celebrate the 10-year anniversary of Nanoscale Horizons, we would like to invite you to take part, contribute and enjoy our ongoing and upcoming activities. This blog contains a brief outline of some of our main celebratory initiatives. Be sure to keep an eye out for more additions!
Introductory Editorial
Present Editorial board chairs, Katharina Landfester will reflect upon their time with Nanoscale Horizons and the progress and development of the journal over the decade.
10th Anniversary Collection
10 years of our Nanoscience community
The journal would not be possible without the support of our many thousands of authors, reviewers, Board members and readers during this time. In celebration of this, we will be publishing a Nanoscale Horizons 10th Anniversary collection in Summer 2025 in which we will celebrate and thank members of our community who have supported the journal over the last 10 years. Watch this space as we publish latest discoveries by some of our valued community members over the coming months.
The Inaugural Authors of Nanoscale Horizons
We have invited back our inaugural authors who published with Nanoscale Horizons when the journal was first launched in 2015 to write special reflection articles to reflect on their own work in the field, how it has influenced further research in the field and how they may have developed upon their work had they the insight of the present.
Regional Spotlight Collections
Regional collections have been collated to feature the very best research from across the globe. Each month brings a different region so look out for our social media promotions to stay in the loop.
February Spotlight Collection: Europe
Community Spotlight
Other exciting things to come in 2025 include a a 10th Anniversary Community Spotlight Blog every month! We hope this blog will showcase some of the nanoscience community that have played a role in supporting Nanoscale Horizons and our journal community in general.

Special 10th Anniversary cover
We will be asking you to vote on favourite Nanoscale Horizons cover art from a selection spanning a decade. The top 10 covers will be collated into a special 10th anniversary cover image which will be featured on the front cover of our anniversary issue.
We believe that Nanoscale Horizons will continue to be the home of innovative, and impactful materials science research for many years to come and on behalf of the RSC team, I’d like to thank all our Editorial Board members, past and present, Advisory Board, authors and reviewers, all of whom contribute to making the journal a success. We are so grateful for all your work and support, and look forward to celebrating this anniversary milestone with you!
