ACS Publications journals have long published cutting-edge content exploring the applications of nanoscience and nanotechnology to clinical diagnostics, monitoring, and therapeutics. Four new collections from across ACS journals exhibit the breadth of this research.
Nanomedicine is a branch of medicine that uses nanoscience and nanotechnology to address clinical challenges. Nanomedicine applications operate in various disciplines, including drug delivery, vaccine development, diagnosis and imaging instruments, and wearable devices.
These four collections, featuring articles published across ACS Publications' portfolio of journals, explore the latest opportunities arising from these new technologies.
