It is our great pleasure to announce the awardees of 2024 Nano Research Young Innovators (NR45) in nanomaterial self-assembly. Nano Research initiated the NR45 program in 2018 to recognize outstanding young researchers under 45 years of age across diverse fields of nanoscience and nanotechnology. This initiative celebrates their exceptional achievements and potential to advance their respective disciplines through groundbreaking contributions. Awardees are selected via a rigorous competitive process by an award committee comprising members of the journal's editorial board. The 2024 NR45 Awards focus on nanomaterial self-assembly, honoring 24 innovators for their transformative contributions to this dynamic field. The special issue featuring their work has been published and is now available at https://www.sciopen.com/journal/join_journal/stage_page?stage=5&id=1400285564990251009&issueIndex=1922494862210949121&issn=1998-0124.
