Thought Leaders in Nanotechnology Research

The field of nanotechnology research is very broad, ranging across fundamental studies into the properties of new materials, to the basic science of chemistry, and to innovations in device design and engineering. It also encompasses new manufacturing technologies, emerging use models for biomedical applications, as well as scale-up issues for the production of innovative devices and services. Additionally, the field considers emerging markets and trends and is the basis of many strategies for environmental remediation, food security, and artificial intelligence. The application space is vast, from nanometrology to modeling nano-scale phenomena. Due to the increasingly dynamic nature of nanotechnology, it is progressively more difficult to identify key barriers to advancement, major unrealized opportunities, and challenges the nanotechnology community is not addressing.

To navigate these complexities, Frontiers in Nanotechnology is delighted to launch the Thought Leaders in Nanotechnology collection, led by our Field Chief Editors Prof Themis Prodromakis and Prof Bingqing Wei. This Research Topics is by invite only, and welcomes contributions from leading experts in the field, including journal Chief Editors and selected contributors. These Thought Leaders will bring their experience and high-quality contributions to the collection, and have been invited to explore the latest developments in the field of Nanotechnology, and to celebrate the five-year anniversary of Frontiers in Nanotechnology, creating a lasting resource highlighting key challenges and opportunities in the field.
