Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Once, the XXI century was predicted to belong to Faith, then to Biology, then to Informatics and Communication. Yet, the living reality hardly orients the present and forthcoming humankind needs on sustainable/healthy chemicals, and on material sciences, nano-integrated systems, nano-everything, from atoms, molecules to proteins, cells and their interaction having at the horizon the nano-medicine. However, facing such reality the basic grounded principles of physics sand chemistry are put to work at nano-scale, while discovering the “larger bottom room” with each new achievement, either theoretically or by experimental methods: from defective topologies of graphene to spine exo-functionalization of fullerene (mimicking coronaviruses), to negative surfaces of nanotori and allied carbon extended structures, just to name a few already basic nano-systems; to the nano-implants, laser ablation, cryogenic, baric, ultrasound and hyphenated techniques – all put at work towards artificially (i.e. smart/intelligent) synthesis and functionalization of novel materials, either hetero by stacking or in matrix ablation – to enhance the quantum causes and novel adaptive effects – at the distance of a triggering of a molecular switch or a molecular shuttle (viz. the molecular machines and the molecular interlocked molecules, etc.), etc. Accordingly, I warmly invite you to contribute either on fundamental and/or applicative sides of these challenged and necessary developments in post-modern nano-chemistry and nano-materials’ sciences as based on ground and groundbreaking physical-chemistry and chemical-physics principles of atoms, molecules and of their multi-scaled spaces of bondings and reactivity.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
