Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent decades, nanotechnology has undergone tremendous development. Three areas have made particularly significant contributions to this progress: the development of nanostructured devices, the creation of new nanomaterials, and molecular nanotechnology.
Despite numerous advances, there is still a lack of powerful concepts that effectively connect these three lines of development. An essential prerequisite for such a bridge is overcoming the boundary between device and material. This requires, in particular, the synthesis of complex nanoparticles and the integration of sensory and actuating functions into these particles.
This planned Special Issue aims to bring together current and forward-looking developments in this field.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
