Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Engineering and designing nanostructures by several methods and techniques using lasers as tool is driving many studies in different areas of science and technology such as nanofabrication, medicine, sensing, photovoltaics, photocatalysis, etc. The development of this area has increased the applications of materials at the nanoscale as well as new methods of nanofabrication; however, some aspects, such as the control and reproduction of the desired nanomaterials and their properties, remain a major challenge to overcome.
The Special Issue on “Laser Processing and Characterization of Materials in Nanoscale” summarizes the latest advancements in laser-based techniques for processing, manufacturing, synthesizing and characterizing nanomaterials. This Special Issue will cover a wide range of topics including laser-induced fabrication, modification, and analysis of nanostructures. Emphasis will be placed on two main topics: innovative laser applications, such as enhancing material properties or enabling new functionalities in various nanomaterials, and characterization of all kind of materials at the nanometric scale.
Researchers are encouraged to submit original research, reviews, and short communications that provide new insights into laser–material interactions, process optimization, and the development of novel laser-based technologies for nanomaterials.

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.
