FNANO 2026: Abstract Submission Open

Foundations of Nanoscience 2026, 23rd Annual Conference.

Mon. March 16 to Wed. March 18, 2026.

Technical University of Munich, Downtown Campus, Arcisstrasse 21, 80333 Munich, Germany

Foundations of Nanoscience (FNANO) is a yearly conference on the scientific underpinnings of nanoscience, with self-assembly as a central theme. Over the last 20 years, FNANO has become a nucleation point for programmed self-assembly, including DNA nanofabrication, RNA nanotechnology, protein engineering, and related fields.

Many disciplines. from computer science to molecular medicine, address problems at the nanoscale. FNANO’s purpose is to create an environment that breaks down traditional departmental silos separating nanotechnologists working with self-assembly. The conference cultivates a wide breadth of presentations and attendees to foster a rich environment for new ideas and collaborations.

ABSTRACT SUBMISSION for posters, contributed talks, and invited talksAll presenters must submit a 1–2 page PDF abstract describing the approach and main findings of the work. Only in-person presentations will be accepted.

Abstract submission deadline: December 19, 2025. Instructions for abstract submission and registration can be found at the FNANO 2026 homepage: https://www.fnano.org/. Submissions are accepted for the following topical tracks, conducted sequentially in a single plenary session:

• DNA Nanostructures
• RNA Nanostructures
• Protein Nanostructures
• In Vivo and Biomedical Nanotechnology
• Nanophotonics and Super-Resolution
• Chemical and Synthetic Biology
• Molecular Machinery
• DNA Nanosystems: Programmed Function
• Theory and Computational Tools for Nanotechnology

I am looking forward to seeing you at FNANO 2026.
