Announcing upcoming Nanoscale themed issue: Helical Micro- and Nanostructures

24 Jun 2013

We are delighted to announce a high-profile themed issue on “Helical Micro- and Nanostructures”. This will be Guest Edited by Li Zhang (The Chinese University of Hong Kong), Lixin Dong (Michigan State University) and Peer Fischer (Max-Planck-Institute). The themed issue will be published in Nanoscale in 2014.

The helix is one of the most fundamental geometrical shapes in nature, which can be found at all length scales: from the structure of DNA to planetary helix nebula. During the last three decades, novel nanotechnologies have been developed that have provided various means for fabricating helices. Based on their unique shape micro and nanohelices are poised to play an important role in nanoelectronics, optics, MEMS/NEMS, micro-/nanorobotics, new materials, biology and nanomedicine, which this special issue will highlight. This themed issue aims to bring together exciting research from scientists who are working on these fascinating structures at small scales, and to review the recent advance of helical micro-and nanostructures from the fabrication technology to their applications.

Please contact the Nanoscale Editorial Office (nanoscale-rsc@rsc.org) if you are interested in contributing to this themed issue. The deadline for submissions to this themed issue is the 17^th January 2014.
