Following the success of Peer Review Week in September 2016 (dedicated to reviewer recognition) during which we published a list of our top reviewers, we are delighted to announce that we will continue to recognise the contribution that our reviewers make to the journal by announcing our Outstanding Reviewers each year.

We would like to highlight the Outstanding Reviewers for Nanoscale Horizons in 2016, as selected by the editorial team, for their significant contribution to the journal. The reviewers have been chosen based on the number, timeliness and quality of the reports completed over the last 12 months.

We would like to say a big thank you to those individuals listed here as well as to all of the reviewers that have supported the journal. Each Outstanding Reviewer will receive a certificate to give recognition for their significant contribution.

Dr Arun Chattopadhyay, Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati
Professor Kenneth Dawson, University College Dublin
Dr Minghua Liu, Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences
Professor Shouheng Sun, Brown University
Professor Jianfang Wang, The Chinese University of Hong Kong

We would also like to thank the Nanoscale Horizons board and the nanoscience community for their continued support of the journal, as authors, reviewers and readers.

If you would like to become a reviewer for our journal, just email us with details of your research interests and an up-to-date CV or résumé. You can find more details in our author and reviewer resource centre

Nanoscale Horizons is happy to announce the Nanoscale Horizons award was given to Dr Seiji Yamazoe for the best presentation at the 14th Annual Meeting of The Society of Nano Science and Technology, June 14th – 16th 2016 in Fukuoka, Japan.

His presentation was entitled “Effect of structural factors on bond stiffness of ligand-protected metal clusters”. Dr. Seiji Yamazoe is currently an assistant professor at University Tokyo.

Please join us in congratulating Dr Seiji Yamazoe!

Professor Junichi Sone, the president of the Society of Nano Science and Technology presented the award to Dr Seiji Yamazoe.

Dr Kim

Many congratulations to Antonio Maffucci and Kyung Rok Kim for winning the Nanoscale Horizons poster prizes at IEEE NANO 2015.

Antonio, from  the University of Cassino and Southern Lazio, and Kyung Rok Kim, from Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology, and their co-authors won prizes for their posters entitled “Carbon-Based Power Delivery Networks for Nanoscale ICs: Electrothermal Performance Analysis” and “FinHEMT: FinFET-based High Electron Mobility Transistor with Strained Silicon Channel”, respectively.

Prof. Maffucci

IEEE NANO 2015 took place from 27th to 30th July 2015 at the Angelicum Congress Centre, Rome,  Italy. The conference is organised by the University of Tor Vergata and Sapienza University of Rome, and aims to provide an international forum for the exchange of technical information in a wide variety of branches of nanotechnology and nanoscience, through feature tutorials, workshops, and track sessions; plenary and invited talks from the world most renowned scientists and engineers; exhibition of software, hardware, equipment, materials, services and literature. Further details are available on the conference website.

Nanoscale Horizons is ready for your research!

Following the launch of our new journal in March, we can now announce that Nanoscale Horizons is open for submissions. And we want to hear from you.

We’re looking for high impact work in fields ranging from physics and chemistry to IT, healthcare and detection science.

It’s a deliberately broad scope, designed to span our community and develop the bridge between the various disciplines involved with nanoscience and nanotechnology. And because we will only publish first reports of exceptional significance, every article will be a field leader.

Ready and waiting for your work

We know what’s important when choosing where to submit your research:

• Fast and efficient publication
• Simple and user-friendly online submission process
• High visibility and far-reaching exposure
• Positioning alongside other high-quality research in this field

If you publish with us, you will also receive:

• free use of colour
• no page charges or limits
• Open Access publishing options.

Don’t forget, content published during 2016 and 2017 is free upon registration – giving maximum visibility to your work. And guided by an Editorial Board which includes Xiaodong Chen, Dirk Guldi and Harold Craighead as Editorial Board Chair, this is a high profile platform.
