Intelligent Nanomaterials and Nanosystems
This special issue belongs to the section "Nanofabrication and Nanomanufacturing".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Huge effort is being expended to mimic brain attributes such as learning, computing, or signal processing. This Special Issue is dedicated to nanomaterials that are used to sense any external stimulus (mechanical, optical, thermal, biological, etc.) or that are able to self-organize, actuate, adapt their physical properties to external stimuli, or even compute. Learning and computing are the pillars of intelligent nanosystems and are the key issues that confer intelligence to a nanosystem. Here, neuromorphic computing based on artificial neurons and synapses and arrays based on them are the main vectors for the development of intelligent nanosystems. Artificial synapses and neurons can be implemented with a series of nanomaterials and used for learning purposes such as pattern recognition. Moreover, artificial retinas and other integrated circuits benefit from neuromorphic devices.

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-anonymized 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.
