Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on the latest advances in computational simulations and experimental characterization in nanomaterials research, encompassing both independent research and collaborative innovation. In the computational sense, we are interested in the application of first-principles calculations, molecular dynamics simulations, multiscale modelling, and machine learning in the design of novel nanomaterials, such as two-materials, quantum_dots, nano_catalysts, ceramic materials, semiconductor materials, crystal structures, etc., including structure prediction, performance optimization, and mechanism studies. We will focus on collecting breakthrough results in advanced synthesis techniques, in situ characterization methods, and performance testing. At the same time, we also particularly welcome research works computation and experiments, which showcase the mutual inspiration between theoretical predictions and experimental verification. This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for communication in computational nanoscience, experimental nanotechnology and the cross-fertilization of the two, promoting the comprehensive development of nanomaterials from fundamental research to practical applications. We welcome original research submissions from related fields to promote the progress of nanomaterials science.

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. Nanomaterials 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.
