All authors of accepted NANO 2025 papers are invited to submit an extended version of their conference paper, for possible publication in IEEE Transactions on Nanotechnology.
The nanotechnology revolution is founded upon the understanding of phenomena occurring at the nanoscale and the ability to fabricate and manipulate nanomaterials and nanodevices for practical applications. Researchers are contributing new ideas from a wide range of disciplines, including materials science, biology, biomedicine, engineering, physics, and chemistry. To make interesting research presented at the 25th IEEE International Conference on Nanotechnology (IEEE NANO 2025) widely available, in expanded form and in one publication, IEEE Transactions on Nanotechnology (TNANO) is extending a Call for Papers for a Special Section reflecting the scope of the conference.
When submitting an extended version of an IEEE NANO 2025 paper, authors are requested to significantly expand the conference version to contain substantial new technical material. Clear new contribution requirements, as per TNANO and IEEE restrictions on duplicated publications and the competitive acceptance process, of at least 50%, of novelty material in terms of new ideas and new results should be followed. The IEEE NANO 2025 paper has to be properly cited.
Submitted manuscripts will undergo a full journal peer review process. Submissions are open to all IEEE NANO 2025 participants and to other authors with an interest in the conference topics. The paper submission will be done via the IEEE author portal during the NANO2025 Special Section submission open window, with specific dates given below.
Submissions that reflect the Conference Scope and current state of the field are welcome in areas including but not limited to:
- AI in Nanotechnology
- Emerging Plasma Nanotechnologies
- Heterogenous Integration and Chiplets
- Modeling and Simulation
- Nano-Acoustic Devices, Processes, and Materials
- Nano-Biomedicine
- Nanoelectronics
- Nano-Energy, Environment, and Safety
- Nanofabrication
- Nanomagnetics
- Nanomaterials
- Nano-Metrology and Characterization
- Nano-Optics, Nanophotonics, and Nano-Optoelectronics
- Nanopackaging
- Nanorobotics and Nanomanufacturing
- Nanoscale Communications
- Nanosensors and Nanoactuators
- Nanotechnology for Soft Electronics
- Quantum, Neuromorphic, and Unconventional Computing
- Spintronics
Manuscripts for the TNANO Special Section must be submitted on-line using the IEEE TNANO manuscript template. Follow the guideline (Author Info – IEEE TNANO), and submit your paper via IEEE Author Portal (https://ieee.atyponrex.com/journal/tnano), indicating in the cover letter that you wish the paper to be considered for “IEEE Transactions on Nanotechnology (TNANO) Special Section on the “25th IEEE International Conference on Nanotechnology (IEEE NANO 2025)” but also providing all the requested info related with the substantial new technical material included in the submitted manuscript when compared with the conference article.
Please note that the type of submissions is Regular Manuscripts, i.e., 4 to 6 pages in the two-column IEEE format, which includes figures, tables, and references. On submission to TNANO, authors should select the “Special Issue” manuscript type instead of “Regular Paper”.
Manuscripts will be subject to the standard competitive and constructive peer-review TNANO criteria with no article publishing charges. Accepted papers are published on the web in IEEE Xplore as soon as they are submitted in final form. Web-published papers have a DOI (Digital Object Identifier) and are fully citable and downloadable.
