NANOTECHNOLOGY, NANOSCALE SCIENCE AND ART
2011 is the International Year of Chemistry! To celebrate Leonardo is  
seeking to publish papers and artworks on the intersections of  
chemistry, nanotechnology and art for our on-going special section on  
nanotechnology and the arts. Since its inception nanotech/science has  
been intimately connected to chemistry; fullerenes, nanoputians,  
molecular machines, nano-inorganics and self-assembling molecular  
systems all spring from the minds and labs of chemists, biochemists  
and chemical engineers. If you’re a nano-oriented chemist who is  
serious about art, an artist working on the molecular level, or a  
chemical educator exploring the mysteries of nano through the arts we  
are especially seeking submissions from you. Find out more
