Now that 2025 has come to an end, we look back at some of the exciting events, activities and news from Nanoscale and Nanoscale Advances. We are continually thankful for the nano community’s engagement, which has enabled the journals to continue to support our growing community. We look forward to another great year for the journals in 2026.
Board updates
In 2025 we welcomed Baoquan Ding (National Center for Nanoscience and Technology (NCNST), China) and Cecilia Mattevi (Imperial College London, U.K.) to the Editorial Boards of Nanoscale and Nanoscale Advances as Associate Editors.
Teresa Pellegrino (Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT), Genoa, Italy) and Zhiqin Lin (National University of Singapore, Singapore) completed their terms as Associate Editors and became Advisory Board members.
