A new module has been added to Springer Nature’s nanotechnology research database, Nano. The patent module allows users to sort through over 22 million nano-related patents across all major jurisdictions and languages. This means that researchers can find patents from areas highly affected by nanotechnology, narrow their search by country, filing year and jurisdiction, and ultimately demonstrate the scientific and commercial value of their project and its anticipated impact. All researchers who currently have access to Nano will be able to use this new module.
Nano was launched by Springer Nature in 2016 and serves as a point of reference for nanotechnology researchers with data summaries of nanomaterials. These summaries enable researchers to find and compare information such as properties, biological effects/ toxicities, applications, characterisation and preparation methods. The abstracting and indexing module connects researchers to nanotechnology-related research papers published in leading journals.
