Nanoscale Horizons 10th anniversary
2025 is an exciting year for Nanoscale Horizons as we prepare to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the journal!
Our 10th anniversary cake at ChinaNano 2025 conference
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 reflected upon her 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 have published Nanoscale Horizons 10th Anniversary collection. We would like to thank members of our community who have supported the journal over the last 10 years and chosen to publish their latest discoveries with us!
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.
Keep an eye out for additional articles being added throughout the year:
 |
A reflection on ‘Dipole effects on the formation of molecular junctions’Makusu Tsutsui Nanoscale Horiz., 2025, Advance Article |
 |
A reflection on ‘Size-tunable rhodium nanostructures for wavelength-tunable ultraviolet plasmonics’
Nanoscale Horiz., 2025, Advance Article |
 |
A reflection on ‘A new strategy for developing superior electrode materials for advanced batteries: using a positive cycling trend to compensate the negative one to achieve ultralong cycling stability’
Nanoscale Horiz., 2025, Advance Article |
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.
Community Spotlight
We started a series of 10th Anniversary Community Spotlight Blog showcasing some of the nanoscience community that have played a role in supporting Nanoscale Horizons and our journal community in general.
Meet our Advisory and Community Boards as well as Outstanding Reviewers and keep a look out for further information on our socials for our next blog!
Special 10th Anniversary cover
We asked our community to vote on favourite Nanoscale Horizons cover art from a selection spanning a decade. The top 10 covers have been collated into a special 10th anniversary cover image which was featured on the front cover of our anniversary issue in September!
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!
Nanoscale Horizons 10th Anniversary Cover Showcase
As part of our celebrations, we have been asking authors to find creative ways of including the number “10” in their cover artwork and we are delighted to showcase the results so far! Be sure to keep an eye on this blog as more covers are added!
