Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Technological innovations are continously changing the nanomaterials field, and sophisticated nanofabrication techniques are currently able to synthesize features down to the atomic level. Complex metrogolgy and characterization techniques are required to understand the fundamental properties of these new material systems, as new unique phenomena emerge from the reduction of the characteristic length scales. Applications are ubiquitous, spanning energy transport, electronics and photonics, nanobiotechnology, nanosensors and other devices, molecular interactions, soft matter mechanics, molecular physics, and quantum chemistry.
In this Special Issue, we invite submissions exploring the development of nanoscale characterization tools, as well as new fundamental insights into the structure and behavior of materials at the nanoscale, for advancing technological and biomedical applications. Contributions can focus on metrology techniques, transport properties, mechanical properties, physicochemical properties, magnetic transport, spintronics, optical and force nanoscopy, biomaterials, polymers and nanostructured surfaces, and single-molecule biophysics. Survey papers and reviews are also welcome.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
