Dear Colleagues,

We are proud to present the second issue of the Journal of Self-Assembly and Molecular Electronics.
This issue addresses a broad range of self-assembly topics, ranging from DNA and peptides to photonic structures. We invite everybody to submit original research papers and review articles to the journal. Our policy is to provide fast review process and high publication quality. Full papers are freely available at the journal web site, no registration or payment is required.

We will be happy to offer publication of special issues on the related subjects and conference proceedings in the journal. Publication in the Journal of Self-Assembly and Molecular Electronics is free of charge.

UPDATE: Our journal has been recently added to SciFinder database of Chemical Abstract Service (CAS).

Why publish with us?
