IX NyNA 2019. International Congress on Analytical Nanoscience and Nanotechnology
We are delighted to introduce the first Microchimica Acta Topical Collection with selected papers from the latest proceedings of the International Congress on Analytical Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (IX NyNA 2019, Zaragoza, Spain). The selected works demonstrate how nano- and micro-materials offer unique opportunities to overcome analytical challenges, from the analysis of contaminants to monitoring of biomarkers, to cell studies. In this regard, noble metals, colloidal nanoparticles, and nanostructures and nanocomposite materials once again demonstrate their feasibility as unique tools for the scientific community, ready to use in solving complex challenges. In sum, the selected manuscripts reflect the ‘horizontal use’ of nanomaterials, involving different analytical fields and exciting applications.
