Announcing the 2018 ACS Nano Award Lecture Laureates semiconductors.2−4 She leads an international effort in developing wearable electronics and technologies. Prof. Jonathan Coleman is the Professor of Chemical Physics in the School of Physics and a Principal Investigator in the Centre for Research on Adaptive Nanostructures and Nanodevices (CRANN) at Trinity College Dublin. His research explores the production and processing in liquids of nanomaterials, including carbon nanotubes and inorganic nanowires.5−8 He was named Science Foundation Ireland’s Researcher of the Year. Prof. Zhongfan Liu holds a Changjiang Chair in Chemistry and is the director of Beijing Graphene Institute (BGI), the Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology of Peking University, and the Beijing Science and Engineering Center for Nanocarbons. He focuses on low-dimensional carbon materials and novel two-dimensional atomic crystals for nanoelectronic and energy conversion and also looks at how to scale up production of both materials and devices.9−13 He is a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Third World Academy of Sciences. We look forward to seeing you in Boston at the meeting and at the award lectures! Announcements. We are delighted to announce that Prof. Ajay Sood of the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, and the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research has joined us as an associate editor at ACS Nano. Prof. Sood is an honorary professor of physics with broad interests in optical interactions of nanomaterials and the interactions of nanomaterials with flow and with their surroundings.14−17 He is a member and past president of the Indian Academy of Sciences, a

his year, as the theme of the fall the American Chemical Society meeting in Boston in August will be “Nanoscience, Nanotechnology, and Beyond”, we are holding our ACS Nano award and companion lectures there.1 We are delighted to announce that among the extraordinary collection of this year’s nominees, the three winners of the 2018 ACS Nano Lectureship Awards are Prof. Zhenan Bao of Stanford University for the Americas, Prof. Jonathan Coleman of Trinity College Dublin for Europe/Africa/Middle East, and Prof. Zhongfan Liu of Peking University for the Asia/Pacific region. All three have been frequent contributors and advisors to ACS Nano.
This year, as the theme of the fall American Chemical Society meeting in Boston in August will be “Nanoscience, Nanotechnology, and Beyond”, we are holding our ACS Nano award and companion lectures there. Prof. Zhenan Bao is the K. K. Lee Professor of Chemical Engineering and by courtesy also a professor of chemistry and material science and engineering at Stanford University. She is the director of the Stanford Wearable Electronics Initiative (eWEAR). She is a member of the National Academy of Engineering and one of the laureates of the 2017 L’Oréal-UNESCO Awards for Women in Science. Prof. Bao is on the editorial advisory board of ACS Nano. She is known for developing technologies with organic field-effect transistors and organic
