Nanoscale Cake Definitely Not Nanoscale

10 Sep 2013

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.

1st International Symposium on Nanocarbons (ISNC 2013)

25 Jun 2013

Nanoscale and Energy & Environmental Science (EES) were proud to co-sponsor the recent “1st International Symposium on Nanocarbons (ISNC 2013)“, which was held at the University of Science & Technology of China, Hefei.

Nanoscale Associate Editor and speaker at the conference, Professor Dirk Guldi, presented three student poster awards on behalf of Nanoscale and EES. The winners received prizes and certificates in the closing session.

The Poster Prizewinners

The latest international research on carbon materials, including carob nanotubes, graphene, fullerenes and hybrid carbon materials, as well as their broad applications in energy conversion, optoelectronics and biomedicine were covered at the meeting. The conference was a great success with over 160 participants.

Winners of the Nanoscale-sponsored poster awards at ElecNano 5

23 May 2013

The 5^th edition of the international meeting on Nanoelectrochemistry (ElecNano 5) was held in Bordeaux at the ENSCBP Engineering School from 15^th to 17^th May 2013. This conference is organized biannually by the electrochemistry group of the French Chemical Society (SCF). The 2013 edition gathered participants from 20 different countries and the topic was dedicated to “Electroanalysis and the Nanoscale”.

Overall, the program scheduled 42 oral contributions including 4 keynote lectures (Pr. Henry S. White, University of Utah, USA; Pr. Hubert Girault, EPFL Lausanne, Switzerland; Pr. Joseph Wang, UCSD, USA and Pr. Richard J. Nichols, University of Liverpool, UK) as well as a poster session with 46 presentations.

For the first time, poster awards were sponsored by RSC Publishing through the journal Nanoscale. More than 30 candidates were competing for the awards and an independent committee nominated three laureates who won a prize of 100 euros each as well as a RSC certificate.

The three winners are:
