Nanoscale and Microscale Thermophysical Engineering is a journal covering the basic science and engineering of nanoscale and microscale energy and mass transport, conversion, and storage processes. The journal seeks manuscripts detailing studies that investigate, model, explore and/or utilize the unique thermal behavior and thermophysical properties that manifest themselves at the nano- and microscale. In addition, the journal addresses the uses of these principles for device and system applications in the fields of energy, environment, information, medicine, and transportation.The journal publishes both original research articles and reviews of historical accounts, latest progresses, and future directions in this rapidly advancing field. Papers deal with such topics as:
