Feature papers represent the most advanced research with significant potential for high impact in the field. A Feature
Paper should be a substantial original Article that involves several techniques or approaches, provides an outlook for
future research directions and describes possible research applications.
Feature papers are submitted upon individual invitation or recommendation by the scientific editors and must receive
positive feedback from the reviewers.
Editor’s Choice articles are based on recommendations by the scientific editors of MDPI journals from around the world.
Editors select a small number of articles recently published in the journal that they believe will be particularly
interesting to readers, or important in the respective research area. The aim is to provide a snapshot of some of the
most exciting work published in the various research areas of the journal.
We are pleased to announce the two winners of Nanomaterials 2021 Travel Award (800 Swiss Francs each), given to Dr. Aleksandrs Leitis, a Ph.D. student at École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), and Dr. Ekaterina Kolesova, a postdoctoral fellow at ITMO University.
Dr. Leitis’s work focuses on the fields of optics, photonics nanofabrication and data analysis. He plans to attend 15th International Congress on Artificial Materials for Novel Wave Phenomena METAMATERIALS 2021 in New York, USA, to present his work entitled “Functional Metasurfaces for Mid-infrared Optical Wavefront Manipulation, Sensing and Dynamic Phase Control”.
Dr. Kolesova’s research focuses on colloidal nanostructures, formation of multilayer structures, antibacterial therapy, photo- and sonodynamic therapy. She plans to attend Global Summit on Metamaterials, Nanophotonics and Plasmonics (METAMAT2021) in London, UK, to present her work entitled “Bactericidal Activity of Hybrid Nanostructures Based on Titania Nanoparticles”.
Congratulations to Dr. Leitis and Dr. Kolesova. We are grateful to all who submitted applications.
Prof. Dr. Shirley Chiang Editor-in-Chief, Nanomaterials
