Nanoscale Horizons
Learn about nanoscale materials in the flagship Nanoscale Horizons journal published by the Royal Society of Chemistry.
Nanoscale Horizons is a premier journal publishing first reports of exceptional significance across the breadth of nanoscience and nanotechnology research. Nanoscience is the study of materials and structures on the scale of nanometres; one nanometre is one millionth of a millimetre, to help explain this, the width of a human hair is approximately 50,000 nanometres. Scientists are interested in nanoparticles as their properties can vary a substantial amount when compared to the equivalent bulk material. For example, the nanoparticles in a chunk of gold are actually red in colour.
