This topical collection intends to create the opportunity to show and discuss strategies to design and synthesize advanced Smart Responsive Nanomaterials. Thus, Nano-Optics, and Nanophotonics are incorporated as high impact materials to tune new properties. In these perspectives joining varied optical active materials confined below and beyond the Nanoscale is expected to current Research in these fields. Therefore, it is focused on Nanochemistry and how to produce different physical and chemical processes in order to generate as for example non-classical light, quantum emissions, Opto-electronics, semiconductors, and enhanced phenomena. These phenomena are expected to be part of functional materials towards miniaturized instrumentation. By this manner actually there is a high interest to shape the future of Nanotechnology, Biotechnology, and Nano-, Micro-devices. So, this an Open Call to the Scientific community, Researchers and all related highly qualified personal that daily propose new approaches, bottom ups, and set-ups looking for innovative studies and applications. In this way, it is an Open minded Topical Collection within other related Research fields related that could afford to new Optical active Nanomaterials. All your proposals of manuscripts are welcomed and they will be considered to be incorporated in this article collection.

            It should be highlighted that this call is presented after acquired Research experience in the development of Enhanced Nanomaterials focused on the Nano-, Micro-scale of devices, Nanochemistry, Nanotechnology, Life Sciences involving even Origin of Life, Exobiology, and synthetic Biology studies and applications. Therefore, in brief the current Research path of the Invited Editor is under the way highlighting the following facts. A. Guillermo Bracamonte, PhD, holds an assistant professor position at National University of Cordoba (UNC), Argentine and researcher at the Commission of Research in Science, Argentine. During his research career, he held postdoctoral positions at Laval University and University of Victoria, Canada. He was a research visitor at the University of Regensburg, Germany and a researcher at the NASA Astrobiology Institute and the University of Akron. Then, he began his research group within nanophotonics, biophotonics and nanomedicine. He is the founder of Bio-highlighting Solutions Start-Up Entrepreneurship. Therefore, in the context, to propose new research and studies related with photon-matter interactions, you are welcomed as well to discuss with the Invited Editor about your potential proposals, ideas, and future articles related.
