2D materials: to graphene and beyond
R. Mas-Ballesté, C. Gómez-Navarro, J. Gómez-Herrero and F. Zamora
Nanoscale, 2010, Advance Article, DOI: C0NR00323A, Review
This review is an attempt to illustrate the different alternatives in the field of 2D materials. Graphene seems to be just the tip of the iceberg, and the discovery of alternative 2D materials is starting to show the rest of this iceberg. The review comprises the current state-of-the-art of the vast literature in concepts and methods already known for isolation and characterization of graphene, and rationalizes the quite disperse literature in other 2D materials such as metal oxides, hydroxides and chalcogenides, and metal–organic frameworks.

We are delighted to announce that Nanoscale is now listed in the prestigious MEDLINE abstracting / indexing service.
All articles published in Nanoscale (going back to the very first issue) are now included, and are searchable using PubMed. This will provide even greater visibility to the great research being published in the journal, particularly in the bio / medical communities.
Nanoscale is already fully-indexed in other leading databases, including Web of Science, and Scopus. ISI have confirmed Nanoscale will appear in the 2010 Journal Citation Report (and receive an official Impact Factor) – this will be published in June 2011.
Nanoscale publishes leading research in nanoscience and nanotechnology, including the areas of nanobiotechnology; bionanomaterials and nanomedicine.

Modelling zinc oxide nanoparticle formation could provide new insights into how snowflakes form as well as aiding nanoscale device research, say Chinese scientists.
Different patterns are fomed depending on the coverage of the surface
Snowflakes are formed in the atmosphere via complicated crystallisation and melting processes. What exactly happens is one of the great mysteries of nature but despite unwavering interest, the formation mechanism remains unknown. In addition to being a curiosity, this knowledge could have important scientific and technological relevance by providing insights into crystal growth dynamics and pattern formation during solidification. This could help in nanoscale device self-assembly.
Hong-Jun Gao and his team at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing have found that when synthesising ZnO nanoparticles under appropriate conditions, symmetric patterns resembling snowflakes are formed on the surface. ‘It is a fortuitous discovery to some extent,’ says Gao.
