Research Activities in Advanced Materials at National Center for Nanoscience and Technology of China

This special issue of Advanced Materials presents an overview of nanoscience and nanotechnology research involving characterization, device, biology and medicine, which is being conducted at National Center for Nanoscience and Technology (NCNST) of China. Numerous scientific advances have been achieved in the past 15 years since the founding of NCNST, and partial results have been collected in this special issue. 
NCNST was co‐founded by Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and the Ministry of Education. It was officially established on December 31, 2003. NCNST adopts an innovative system in that its director takes full responsibilities under the leadership of governing board. The founding director of NCNST was Prof. Chunli Bai, who is currently the president of CAS. The main objective of NCNST lies in basic and applied research of nanoscience and nanotechnology. The goal is to build a top‐level research center, a public platform for nanoresearch open to domestic and foreign countries, a window for international exchange in the field of nanotechnology, and a talent‐training base.
