Nano Letters reports on fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of nanoscience and nanotechnology, providing rapid disclosure of the key elements of a study, publishing preliminary, experimental, and theoretical results on the physical, chemical, and biological phenomena, along with processes and applications of structures within the nanoscale range. Among the areas of interest the journal covers are:

• Synthesis and processing of organic, inorganic, and hybrid nanosized materials by physical, chemical, and biological methods
• Modeling and simulation of synthetic, assembly, and interaction processes
• Characterization of size-dependent properties
• Realization and application of novel nanostructures and nanodevices
