ACS150 JACS Symposium Series: CCS Congress

DNA Nanotechnology has become a versatile toolset for precise engineering of functional nanostructures at the molecular scale. Researchers leverage the programmable nature of nucleic acids to design systems that seamlessly interface with biological environments and electronic components, which opens up new opportunities for applications in biomedicine, diagnostics, synthetic biology, and optoelectronics.

This Special Issue from JACS Au showcases some of the latest advances in DNA nanotechnology, with a particular emphasis on its role in optoelectronics and biomedicine.

As the demand for high-performance and durable energy storage systems grows, battery research is becoming increasingly multidisciplinary, relying on collaborations between chemistry, physics, materials science, computer science, and engineering to develop next-generation systems to facilitate the transition toward sustainable energy storage. This Collection from JACS Au showcases some recent contributions to this field which emphasize the power of interdisciplinary approaches to solving the various challenges in the field of battery research.

The past decade has seen tremendous growth in using computational tools in designing biomaterials and providing molecular-level insights into biological systems. This ACS Applied Bio Materials issue features a Forum on Computational Advances in Biomaterials. This Forum is a collection of nine research articles, four reviews, one spotlight, one letter highlighting computationally designed biomaterials and advances in computational tools.

This Special Issue aims to showcase cutting-edge research and perspectives on the development, characterization, and application of sustainable polymer materials. Submit your manuscript by March 31, 2026.
