Nanoscale Horizons is a leading journal for the publication of exceptionally high-quality, innovative nanoscience and nanotechnology. The journal places an emphasis on original research that demonstrates a new concept or a new way of thinking (a conceptual advance), rather than primarily reporting technological improvements. However, outstanding articles featuring truly breakthrough developments such as record performance alone may also be published in the journal. For work to be published it must be of significant general interest to our community-spanning readership.

Topics covered in the journal include, but are not limited to:

Synthesis of nanostructured and nanoscale materials
Quantum materials
2D materials
Layered materials
Layered quantum materials
Characterisation of functional nanoscale materials and bio-assemblies
