The winners of “Top Papers Award” in 2025.jpg

The annual Top Papers Award has been established since 2015 by the editorial board of Nano Research and the Tsinghua University Press (TUP). This award is open to any scientists worldwide who have published papers in Nano Research during the three preceding years. The winner will be determined by the Award Committee (Editors-in-Chief, Associate Editors, representatives from TUP) according to the JCR citation in the latest year and the contribution of the papers.

We are pleased to announce that the eleventh Top Papers Awards are presented to the following papers.
