Over 150 papers cover the physics of nanostructures, nanoelectromagnetics, the chemistry of nanostructures, nanotechnology, frontiers of nanotechnologies and nanomaterials for renewable energy conservation and storage, nanostructured materials for electronics and photonics, and nanostructure-based devices. Among the topics are Bessel plasmons for near-field optical microscopy with nanoscale resolution, charge accumulation and edge state transport in graphene nanoribbons, experiment and modeling microwave absorption in pyrolytic carbon nanofilms, ion-selective detection with a glass nanopipette for living cells, electrokinetic properties of aluminum nanopowders in citric acid solution, and the effect of annealing on the shielding properties of shungite.
