Nanoscale themed issue: Self-propelled Nano- and Microsystems
Guest Editors: Martin Pumera (Nanyang Technological University), Samuel Sanchez (IFW Dresden)
Deadline for Submission: 1st September 2012
Nanoscale is delighted to announce a high-profile themed issue on “Self-propelled Nano- and Microsystems”. It is our pleasure to invite you to submit to this themed issue.
Taking a lead from Nature, artificial nanorobots have been designed which are capable of moving autonomously by the conversion of physical or chemical sources into mechanical energy. These tiny devices can be functionalized with different biomolecules in order to carry out the specific tasks, such as capture and transport of cargo. This themed issue will include high quality articles across this exciting, fast-moving field – from synthesis and mechanisms of motion/transport of cargoes, to applications.
Submit in any reasonable format using our online submissions service
Communications and full papers of high quality original, unpublished research will be considered
All submissions are subject to rigorous peer review
Please indicate upon submission it is intended for this themed issue
