Nanoscale Research Letters

Springer and the Nano Research Society have announced a new partnership to publish Nanoscale Research Letters (NRL). This is said to be the first nanotechnology journal from a major commercial publisher to publish articles with open access.

NRL emphasises research that seeks to uncover the underlying science and behaviour of nanostructures, crossing the disciplines of physics, materials science, biology, chemistry and engineering. The journal will contain original research papers ('Nano Express’) and reviews ('Nano Reviews’) which update readers on the latest developments in nanoscience and nanotechnology. NRL also invites personal commentaries ('Nano Opinions’) to address general concerns of the nano community and to highlight important new areas of science.
