We are pleased to open submissions to a themed collection on New Horizons in Nanomaterials with Extreme Properties. This collection will be published in the Royal Society of Chemistry journal Nanoscale and we invite you to submit some of your latest quality work to be featured in this special collection.
The collection is guest edited by Professor Gang Zhang (Beijing Institute of Technology, China), Professor Wu-Xing Zhou (Hunan University of Science and Technology, China), Professor Jing Cao (Agency for Science, Technology and Research, Singapore) and Professor Judith Driscoll (University of Cambridge, UK).
We invite submissions of original research articles that explore nanomaterials with extreme properties. Nanomaterials with extreme properties, including ultrahigh energy density, high entropy, high hardness, ultrahigh or ultralow thermal conductivity, have gained popularity due to fundamental research interest and extensive applications. However, such types of nanomaterials should be carefully envisioned, strategized, produced, optimized, and monitored to keep them highly efficient, safe, stable, and cost effective.
We would like to invite articles for this themed collection to systematically review the most impactful experimental approaches and theoretical methods for studying nanomaterials with extreme properties, intending to connect different communities and identify common challenges in the field.
Submissions deadline 31 October 2026

Nanoscale is a hybrid journal, meaning you can choose to publish your work open access or you can choose to publish your work for subscription-only audiences.
In some cases, the Associate Editors may offer authors a transfer to our companion journal Nanoscale Advances and any transferred articles will still be included in the online collection. Nanoscale Advances is a Gold Open Access and article processing charges will apply unless you are eligible for a waiver or your institute has an open access agreement with the RSC. More details can be found here.
If you have any questions about the open call, please do contact our Editorial Office at nanoscale-rsc@rsc.org. We look forward to receiving your submissions!
