Nanotechnology and Precision Engineering

Aims & Scope

Nanotechnology and Precision Engineering (NPE) is a peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary research journal that covers all areas related to nanotechnology and precision engineering, which provides a forum for researchers of the related field all over the world.

In order for NPE to distinguish itself from competing journals, and as a service to our authors and readers, it is published as an Open Access journal.

The publishers will cover the costs for this service.

NPE is hosted on the ScienceDirect electronic platform, from which users can make full-text downloads for free if they so choose.

NPE will publish four issues per volume/year.

NPE publishes original research articles, reviews, communications and discussions that focus on, but are not limited to, the following areas: -Micro/Nano Devices, Sensors and Actuators- Micro- and Nanoscale Fabrication- MEMS/NEMS- Micro/Nano Fluidics- Micro/Nano Optics- Micro/Nanotechnology for Biomedical Applications- Micro- and Nano Characterization and Metrology- Flexible Electronics- Advanced Materials and Their Interface with Micro/Nanotechnology- Precision Instruments- Precision Engineering- Industrial, Frontier and Future trends for NPE
