AIMS AND SCOPE
The Journal of Nanoengineering and Nanosystems is dedicated to the particular aspects of nanoscale engineering, science, and technology that involve the descriptions and characterizations of nanoscale systems and materials. This Journal reflects work on real devices, processes and materials, that arise from transitioning the scientific and engineering database. The Journal also serves researchers at the interfaces of chemistry, materials science, physics and engineering.
The Journal is concerned with systems-level approaches for the synthesis or fabrication of devices, materials, and processes where function of the nanoscale components is central to the overall performance. It provides a forum for those involved in the invention, modeling, fabrication, and analysis, of nanoscale systems, and their applications, which are made by top-down or bottom-up methods.
As the various fields of nanoscale sciences have matured and databases of material and biomedical properties are beginning to be established, it becomes possible to apply engineering methods for designing and creating complex nanoscale devices. This Journal is the medium for the dissemination of research on such systems.
