Hot Forum Topic: Nano research and journals

Open by Peter Matthews 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? Visit the forum topic.
