number of new features and activities are coming to ACS Nano. We are excited that there will be an annual series of award lectures covering the broad scope of the journal. Stay tuned for the details and the nomination procedures, which will be in an upcoming editorial. Our first virtual issues on Nanotoxicology and Nanomaterials for Drug Delivery have been highly successful.1 3 The next, on nanoplasmonics, collated by Associate Editors Jason Hafner and Peter Nordlander, will be out with the next issue. Thank you for the strong, positive feedback on these collections. Next, I am honored to tell you that I have been asked by the American It is an exciting time for nanoscience and nanotechnology, and I Chemical Society to serve another term as Editor-in-Chief of ACS Nano. look forward to seeing our fields unfold on and be motivated by the It is an exciting time for nanoscience contents of these pages. and nanotechnology, and I look forward to seeing our fields unfold on and be motivated by the contents of these pages. We have a terrific and growing team of editors (vide infra) and staff to give the submitted and solicited papers as well as Perspectives, Nano Focus articles, and Conversations the care that each deserves. Our extraordinary growth has already made us one of the largest ACS journals (by submissions, which have doubled each year since our launch). We intend to continue to raise the threshold for publication, as we have in the past, as the quality and number of manuscripts continue to increase. We welcome Prof. Ali Javey as our newest Associate Editor.4,5 Prof. Javey is an associate professor of electrical engineering and computer sciences at the University of California, Berkeley, and is well known for his work on nanomaterials and devices. Finally, more good news comes from Essential Science Indicators—ACS Nano has now been awarded seven ISI Rising Stars, a record for any field.6 Thank you for your continuing support of ACS Nano (and stay tuned for more!). We are also delighted to see our sister journal, ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces, win their first.6 Congratulations to EditorProf. Ali Javey of the University of in-Chief Kirk Schanze and his entire team! California, Berkeley, joins ACS Nano as Associate Editor.
