  • With the publication of the first Nature Nanotechnology Insight, we also introduce the concept of Analysis as an article type to our journal.

    Editorial
  • In 1944, Erwin Schrödinger posed the question “How can the events in space and time which take place within the spatial boundary of a living organism be accounted for by physics and chemistry?” Studying out-of-equilibrium chemical systems may take us closer to an answer.

    Editorial
  • On the tenth anniversary of the launch of Nature Nanotechnology we look back at what we have achieved so far and consider future directions.

    Editorial
  • Nanomaterials research must overcome the issue of scalability if it is to make a tangible impact in the real world.

    Editorial
  • The uncertainty created by the result of the Brexit referendum will be damaging for science in the UK.

    Editorial
  • Advances in nanotechnology and materials science suggest that a paradigm shift in computation may be closer than we think.

    Editorial

    Editorial
  • March and April of this year mark the anniversary of a number of key discoveries in the history of nanotechnology.

    Editorial
  • Although undetectable by macroscopic magnetic probes, antiferromagnetic order could be used in future spintronic devices.

    Editorial
  • Reliable and consistent technological achievements are required for the development of quantum technologies.

    Editorial
  • Sophisticated nanopores, which utilize electron tunnelling measurements, two-dimensional materials, or concepts from molecular self-assembly, could have applications in DNA and protein sequencing; the technical problems that must be solved to realize such technologies are considerable though.

    Editorial
  • Developing useful methods to control light–matter interactions at the nanoscale requires an appreciation of the needs of industry and innovative approaches that go beyond plasmonics.
