Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, tremendous growth and progress has taken place in the fields of nanophotonics and plasmonics. This has resulted in a deeper understanding of light–matter interactions, the discovery of new materials and designs, and the creation of advanced technologies with a wide range of applications. The focus of this Special Issue on Nanomaterials is to highlight the following aspects of these rapidly evolving fields:
Latest developments in metasurface design and fabrication and their applications in areas such as lasing, sensing, and data storage.
The exploration of the plasmonic properties of 2D materials through techniques such as lithography, doping, the search for new materials, and moiré stacking, with a focus on potential plasmonic devices for sensing, imaging, and energy harvesting.
The novel design or improvement of plasmonic sensors and their applications in areas such as biology, medicine, and environmental monitoring.
The investigation of new optical properties of 2D materials and the development of advanced photonic devices.
The use of artificial intelligence in nanophotonics and plasmonics, including the optimization of photonic materials and designs, building predictive models to simulate and predict the optical properties of nanostructures, the analysis and interpretation of data from nanophotonic and plasmonic systems, and the use of inverse designs.
The integration of nanophotonic and plasmonic components in hybrid nanophotonic systems.
We warmly welcome original articles and review submissions.

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. Nanomaterials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs). 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.
