Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The nanoscale manipulation of matter has always been attractive for millions of researchers and scientists worldwide, leading to an interdisciplinary revolution in various fields of science. In this context, nanotechnology is the flagship, key enabling technology of the 21st century, including and combining fields such as chemistry, materials science, engineering, semiconductor physics, biology, medicine, etc., providing new materials, a vast range of applications, as well as everyday consumer products.
For Europe, nanotechnology research always remains critical, aiming to be competitive in a global level. In this frame, the current generation of the European researchers have generated a massive number of exciting achievements in chemistry in terms of materials design, synthesis. and characterization for emerging application areas, such as energy, electronics, photonics, biomedicine, and environment.
The scope of the present regional Special Issue is to collect new nanotechnology advances and insights from research activities in chemistry conducted not only from Europeans but in a Europe-wide level (European universities, research centers, and organizations). In this context, I invite researchers to submit their original research articles, communications, perspective, and review articles on organic and inorganic molecules, 2D materials, carbon-based materials and nanostructure design, synthesis and functionalization, as well as their potential for incorporation in nanodevices or applications of interest.

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. Molecules 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 2700 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.
