Nano research and journals

Nano research looks like an area in which many specialisations are involved, in chemistry, physics, biology and so on. The work is likely to be scattered across many journals in the natural and physical sciences. Or unrelated papers may be united in nano-scale journals (those with very small readership) that attempt to create a single field on the theme of nanoscale phenomena.I am not a worker in this area, but am curious to know what journals members of this network consider to be the key journals for nano-scale research.Are there any nano-scale journals that bring natural-science studies together with the theoretical, physical, and engineering approaches?It might be useful if members of this network could name the journals that they consider important for following developments in nano research, even if these are not journals that specialise in such research.And now, to take a tangent....One question I would like to ask is: what is the smallest crack - in a stone - into which a natural DNA molecule might fit? Would the shape of a crack or cavity become increasingly significant as the size becomes smaller and closer to the minimum size?I am asking this because the answer may be important for archaeologists who are looking for ancient DNA (or deep earth geologists looking for life). What journals might already have published something on this?

  • The following nano-related research resource list has been compiled by me and is a working product of my firm (Plutonic Research & Knowledge Trust, Inc.). Though extensive, the list is not exhaustive and remains incomplete. Monographs/Books titles are not supplied herewith. It is provided here as a service and a professional courtesy. If referenced or reproduced (in whole or in part), I respectfully respect that appropriate research support credit be attributed to the firm.

    • Mea culpa. "..respectfully respect that appropriate..." should read "respectfully request that...".
      (That's the problem with self-proofing at 1:30).
    • To the above list, add SciDev.Net (o, n, policy)

      SciDev.Net's special agreement with the journals Science and Nature allows visitors to the site to access full text of relevant articles and research papers (in Chinese, English, French, and Spanish) that would otherwise be unavailable to non-subscribers.

      Regional networks coverage: China, the Caribbean, Latin America, Middle East, North Africa, South Asia, South-East Asia, and Sub-Saharan Africa.

      News and research content related to Nano are currently available in Chinese and English only.
  • As you presumed most of the traditional physics/chemistry/materials science and interdisciplinary journals accept papers in the topic of nanoscience&technology.

    However, due to the "boom" in the field, dedicated "Nano-" journals have also appeared:

    - The leading journal with the biggest impact on the field (also the biggest impact factor) is beyond doubt Nature Nanotechnology, the nano specialized branch of the prestigious Nature.

    - Nano Letters published by the American Chemical Society is another journal publishing top quality papers with high influence on the field.

    - I would also mention Nanotechnology from Institute of Physics, to my knowledge being the first nano-specialized journal, which is still publishing good quality papers.

    Of course there are a dozen of relatively new "nano journals", which still need to confirm, and certainly some of them will...
