Women in Nanotechnology: Volume II

We are pleased to announce the launch of the second Edition of "Women in Nanotechnology" Research Topic in Frontiers in Nanotechnology, following up to the success of our inaugural collection Women in Nanotechnology: Volume I.

At present, less than 30% of all researchers worldwide are women. Long-standing biases and gender stereotypes are discouraging girls and women away from science-related fields, and STEM research in particular. Science and gender equality are, however, essential to ensure sustainable development as highlighted by UNESCO. In order to change traditional mindsets, gender equality must be promoted, stereotypes defeated, and girls and women should be encouraged to pursue STEM careers.

Therefore, Frontiers in Nanotechnology is proud to offer this platform to promote the work of women researchers, scientists, engineers, and specialists across all fields of study related to the field of Nanotechnology.

The work presented in this collection highlights the diversity of research performed across the entire breadth of Nanotechnology and presents advances in theory, experiment, and methodology with applications to compelling problems.

Please note: For inclusion, the first or last author must identify as a woman, but exceptions can be made with editorial approval.

Keywords: #CollectionSeries, Women in Science, Nanotechnology, Women in STEM, UNESCO, Biomedical nanotechnology, Computational Nanotechnology, Environmental Nanotechnology, Nanocatalysis, nanomaterials, nanophotonics, nanodevices, nanoelectronics, nanofabrication

Important note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
