The Nanoscale Editorial Office is delighted at the success of the Nanoscience Symposium which occurred at the ChinaNANO 2015 conference in Beijing from 3rd-5th September. This one-day symposium included talks from the Nanoscale Associate Editors about their latest research covering topics such as carbon nanomaterials, nanoelectronics, bionanomaterials, nanophotonics, nanoclusters and nanocrystals.

Some articles submitted to Nanoscale from delegates of the ChinaNANO 2015 conference can be found below.

There was a great turn-out and we received a lot of useful feedback from the attendees.

A prominent highlight of the event was the reception organised by the Royal Society of Chemistry to celebrate the launch of Nanoscale Horizons as well as the Nanoscale and Nanoscale Horizons partnership with the National Center for Nanoscience and Technology (NCNST) in Beijing which included cutting an enormous cake!

ChinaNANO 2015

Nanoscale is proud to collaborate with the 6th International Conference on Nanoscience and Technology (ChinaNANO 2015), which will be held at the Beijing International Convention Center in Beijing, China on 3-5 September 2015. The conference is organised by the National Center for Nanoscience and Technology, China. Professor Chunli Bai will act as the Chairman of the organising committee.

ChinaNANO 2015 aims to stimulate discussions on the forefront of research in nanoscience and nanotechnology, focusing on the following topics: carbon nanomaterials, inorganic nanomaterials and MOFs, self-assembly and supramolecules, nanocomposites and applications, energy and environmental nanotechnology, nanophotonics and optoelectronics, nanodevices and nanosystems, nanobiotechnology and nanomedicine, nanocharacterization and metrology, modelling and simulation of nanostructures, and the environment, safety and health of nanomaterials.

Submit your abstract now – the deadline is 30 April 2015. For more information, please see the conference website.

Last week Nanoscale held a cake reception at the ChinaNANO13 conference in Beijing to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the National Center for Nanoscience and Technology (NCNST). The journal Nanoscale is a collaborative venture between RSC Publishing NCNST in Beijing.

The ChinaNANO13 conference was the fifth biennial International Conference on Nanoscience and Technology. The conference covered all things nano from carbon nanomaterials to nanobiotechnology. The only thing there that wasn’t nano was the Nanoscale Cake, which was quite enormous.

Nanoscale has also published a collection of articles, guest edited by Xingyu Jiang to mark the 10th anniversary of NCNST. Take a look at the collection here.
