Nanoscale now indexed in MEDLINE

We received the great news this morning that Nanoscale has been accepted for inclusion in the prestigious MEDLINE abstracting / indexing service.

All articles published in Nanoscale (going back to the very first issue) will now be included, and 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 hence receive an official Impact Factor) – this will be published in June 2011.

Doped nanostructures

Read July’s issue of Nanoscale – which is all about Doped Nanosctructures and is our first ever themed issue!

This issue, Guest Edited by Stephen Pearton (University of Florida), covers the fascinating field of the doping of nanoparticles or nanostructures: a simple but powerful tool to tailor the chemical and physical properties of functional materials.

Visit our website to find out about our upcming themed issues on Crystallisation and Surface Nanotechnology for Biological and Medical Applications.

nanofluidics preserving art

They have used a novel system composed of water, SDS, 1-pentanol, ethyl acetate and propylene carbonate was recently formulated and successfully used to remove acrylic and vinyl/acrylic copolymers from Mesoamerican wall paintings in the archeological site of Cholula, Mexico.
