Preface : Emergent Materials

Abstract

A path for creating an advanced society is being paved with nanotechnology, which is a transformational path for Industry 4.0. It contributes benefits in many important domains, including medicine, energy, environmental protection, construction, etc. Advances in nanoscience increase our knowledge of materials on a smaller scale, particularly their fundamental physical, chemical, and biological properties that differ from their aggregate forms. Scientists and engineers will manufacture next-generation materials for a better future by understanding of these nanoscale properties. In this special issue of Emergent Materials journal entitled "Women in Nanotechnology," we emphasize the work of research groups run by women scientists worldwide.
