A panel discussion at a recent Nature Conference highlighted the role of mentorship programmes to tackle gender disparity in Indian universities.

Nanotechnology is intimately intertwined with efforts to bring bottom-up synthetic cell research to the forefront, and only strengthening these bonds will expand the scope of what this might achieve.

This year’s Nobel Prize in Chemistry recognizes a milestone for the entire nanotechnology field.

Adopting a nanoscale approach to developing materials and designing experiments benefits research on batteries, supercapacitors and hybrid devices at all technology readiness levels.

The largest nanoscience and nanotechnology conference in the world took place again after a four-year hiatus.

Ultrathin ferroelectric materials, including perovskites, hafnium oxides, and van der Waals stacks are of increasing interest because they exhibit properties that are hard to achieve in bulk and because of their suitability for low-power miniaturized devices.

Recycling plastics waste into value-added chemicals using efficient and selective novel nanocatalysts promises economic as well as environmental benefits.

Graphene, transition-metal dichalcogenides, MXenes and the other members of the flatland family are becoming a rich playground for chemists, enlarging the range of applications these nanomaterials can be used for.

The passing of Gordon Moore, an Intel co-founder, is a good time to reflect on the achievements of the semiconductors industry and how nanomaterials could allow Moore’s law to outlive its formulator.

Technological progress stems from a mutual appreciation of research and development goals.

At Nature Nanotechnology, we want to bring stories of real-world impact of nanoscience research to the attention of the whole community.

Self-assembled monolayers nicely link the history and the future of nanoscience and nanotechnology.

First synthesized in 2011, MXenes are two-dimensional materials currently generating a whirlpool of interest.

Two comments analyse the aspects that allowed four nanomedicine start-ups to overcome the biotech valley of death and build timely businesses

The recent advent of transition metal dichalcogenides moiré materials is a promising platform for studying correlated electron phenomena and moiré exciton physics.

We will now explicitly ask reviewers to flag up to us and authors whether a simpler model or theory could explain the experimental data in a given manuscript.

On a Thursday in March 2022, scientists from three continents gathered in Toulouse, France, to crown the best among eight international molecular racing teams competing in the second edition of the NanoCar Race.

Nature Nanotechnology fosters and promotes integration among scientific disciplines.

We reflect on the legacy that our long-serving Chief Editor leaves behind, as he moves on to pastures new.

Nanoscale systems are ideally suited to study quantum mechanical effects and explore these as resources for emerging quantum technology such as quantum sensing, communication or computing.
