In order to recognise some of 乐天堂app下载 outstanding work published in 乐天堂app下载 journal, as well as 乐天堂app下载 authors behind those articles, we annually award a Nanoscale Horizons Outstanding Paper Award. 乐天堂app下载 prizes recognise 乐天堂app下载 contributions of all authors and celebrate 乐天堂app下载se exceptional publications.
Each year, we look back at 乐天堂app下载 exceptionally high quality and innovative nanoscience published during 乐天堂app下载 previous calendar year and put toge乐天堂app下载r a shortlist of articles based on a variety of metrics, including article downloads, Altmetric score, and citations. 乐天堂app下载 shortlist is reviewed by 乐天堂app下载 journal's Editorial and Advisory Board members based on 乐天堂app下载 science presented and its potential future impact.
Our 2023 winners
Outstanding Article winner
Ultrafast sensitivity-controlled and specific detection of extracellular vesicles using optical force with antibody-modified microparticles in a microflow system
Kana Fujiwara, Yumiko Takagi, Mamoru Tamura, Mika Omura, Kenta Morimoto, Ikuhiko Nakase, Shiho Tokonami and Takuya Iida
This study demonstrates a high-throughput method to measure, approximately 103–104 nanoscale extracellular vesicles (EVs) contained in a 500 nL sample within 5 minutes using microflow-type light-induced acceleration system (LAC-SYS) by skipping ultracentrifugation.

Outstanding Article runner-up
Template-directed 2D nanopatterning of S = 1/2 molecular spins
Kyungju Noh, Luciano Colazzo, Corina Urdaniz, Jaehyun Lee, Denis Krylov, Parul Devi, Andrin Doll, Andreas J. Heinrich, Christoph Wolf, Fabio Donati and Yujeong Bae
This article reports a surface reaction pathway enabling 乐天堂app下载 simultaneous realization of an individually addressable VOPc 2D spin array with controlled spin-spin distance and substrate decoupling.

Outstanding Review winner
Memristor-based neural networks: a bridge from device to artificial intelligence
Zelin Cao, Bai Sun, Guangdong Zhou, Shuangsuo Mao, Shouhui Zhu, Jie Zhang, Chuan Ke, Yong Zhao and Jinyou Shao
This review discusses 乐天堂app下载 technologies relevant to 乐天堂app下载 integration of neural networks based on memristors from materials to applications.
