Aims and scope
Discover Nano is an interdisciplinary journal that publishes papers from all areas of nanoscience and nanotechnology. The journal particularly welcomes transdisciplinary research that seeks to uncover the underlying science and behavior of nanostructures and further the goal of unifying nanoscale research in physics, materials science, biology, chemistry, engineering, and their expanding interfaces.
Discover Nano is an open access journal that supports publication of datasets and the pre-registration of studies.
