About this Research Topic
This Research Topic is in collaboration with the African Network for Solar Energy (ANSOLE), to showcase the latest advancements in Nanotechnology and Nanoscience research in the African Continent.
Nanotechnology-based water filtration, nano-catalysts, and Nano-sensors application for renewable energy and point-of-care medical support. These are only some of the many avenues in which researchers in the African continent are facing developments. The engagement of African researchers in the nanotechnology field shows the efforts that many institutions are undertaking to lead to developments in the nanotechnology field. Concomitantly, this addresses technological, socio-economic and regulatory aspects of research. How can nanotechnology research concretize environmental and socio-economical benefits for African countries?
Assessing the present and vibrant state of nanotechnology research in Africa, and providing a clear overview of the most current innovations that significantly impact society, is crucial to understand how to confront the challenges and how to plan to reach the goals to which every nation aspires. The aim of this collection is also to highlight specific strategies that African countries put in place to drive innovation.
As research is meant to find solutions to problems, the goal of this Research Topic is to gather high-quality original research articles that showcase nanotechnology-based problem-solving and innovations carried out across the African continent. This collection welcomes Review Articles focusing on typical subjects, providing insights and new directions for future research.
In conclusion, This Research Topic welcomes submissions of Original Research, Review, Mini Review, and Perspective articles that cover the entire breadth of the nanotechnology field.
For clarity, contributions to this collection are welcomed only from authors affiliated to Institutions operating on the African Continent.
