We are delighted to announce an open call for papers to our new themed collection focusing on bio-inspired devices, covering bionics, flexible electronics, and robotics.
Guest Editors: Yao Ni (Guangdong University of Technology), Lu Yang (Institute of Photoelectronic Thin Film Devices and Technology of Nankai University), and Huanhuan Wei (Anhui University)
This special collection will aim to address the burgeoning field of bio-inspired technologies, from bionic electronics to robotics and flexible electronics. The latest research and developments are welcome in the design, fabrication, and application of bio-inspired devices.
You are welcome to submit an article within the scope before 1 May 2025.
If you are interested in contributing to this collection, please get in touch with the Editorial Office by email.
Please note that article processing charges apply to all articles submitted to Nanoscale Advances if, following peer-review, they are accepted for publication. Exceptions include researchers at Research4Life Group A and B countries, and those whose institutes have an existing open access deal that covers publication in our gold open access journals. Details of the APC and discounted rates can be found here.
Did you know?
At Nanoscale Advances, our themed collections are built by collaboration between our Guest Editors and expert Associate Editors. Our Guest Editors guide the scope and curate the contributions in our collections but all submissions are handled through peer review by our team of resident Associate Editors. This means that as an author you receive a consistent experience, and as a reader you can trust the quality of the science being presented.
