Recently a new aspect of nanoscience and nanotechnology appeared and has been rising rapidly ever since: functional nanostructures, intelligent nanostructures for targeted applications. In the present Thematic Series a bright spectrum of such targeted functional nanostructures is presented demonstrating the unique possibilities of engineering at the nanometer scale. The self-organization of nanoparticles, nanowires or nanotubes and the introduction of those structures into various materials made it possible to solve long-standing problems. Unusual applications of functional nanostructures are presented in over 40 articles of this Thematic Series, giving the possibility to gain new knowledge about the rapidly developing area of nanoscience and nanotechnology.
