Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
At present, nanomaterials are used in a wide range of applications, in all spheres of civil needs, including energy, medicine and industry. Moreover, they are considered one of the most promising classes of materials for the next generation of technological development. The interest in the possibilities of application of nanoparticles and nanodevices allows a deeper study of the physical properties of these new materials, and provides a starting point for the development of a huge number of practically important areas, starting from synthetic biology, drug delivery platforms and brain–computer interfaces to nanoelectronics, nanophotonics and quantum communications technologies.
This Special Issue focuses on recent research in all fields of applied nanoscience, including but not limited to materials science, molecular and cell biology, genetics, and biotechnology. Special attention will be paid to the state-of-the-art methods of the synthesis and characterization of advanced materials, nanoparticles and biological objects. Computer-based theoretical modeling of nano-objects and their emerging applications is also welcomed.
Since IJMS is a journal of molecular science, pure clinical studies will not suitable for the journal; however, clinical or pure model submissions with biomolecular experiments are welcomed.
Dr. Kirill A. Lozovoy

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
