Celebrating the 150th anniversary of Vanderbilt University

Celebrating the 150th anniversary of Vanderbilt University

Guest edited by De-en Jiang, Janet E. Macdonald and Sharon M. Weiss

Piran R. Kidambi et al’s cover for their article on ultra-thin proton conducting carrier layers for scalable integration of atomically thin 2D materials with proton exchange polymers for next-generation PEMs.

We were delighted to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Vanderbilt University at the end of last year and into the start of 2024 with a special collection in Nanoscale Horizons, Nanoscale and Nanoscale Advances highlighting the breadth of high-quality work from the institute and commemorating the university’s sesquicentennial. We’re pleased to share this excellent collection of research and reviews with you, providing a snapshot of the nanoscale science and engineering research from Vanderbilt faculty, alumni, and collaborators in 2023 and 2024.

We’re also delighted to showcase the work of Piran R. Kidambi et al, which featured on the cover of Nanoscale!

You can explore the collection and read the introductory editorial from our guest editors below, with all articles free to access until the end of August 2024.
