From July 29 to 31, 2025, the 14th IEEE International Conference on Nanomanipulation, Manufacturing and Measurement (IEEE 3M-NANO 2025) was successfully held in Changchun, China. Co-organized by Jilin University, the National International Joint Research Center for Nanomanipulation and Manufacturing, Changchun University of Science and Technology, Changchun University of Technology, Jilin Institute of Chemical Technology, Aarhus University in Denmark, the University of Bedfordshire, the University of Warwick, and the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom, the conference served as a premier international forum dedicated to exploring cutting-edge breakthroughs, sharing innovative ideas, and charting the future direction of nanoscience and technology in the core domains of nanomanipulation, nano-manufacturing, and nano measurement.
The opening ceremony featured addresses from Professor Zhang Xi, President of Jilin University and Chair of the Conference Organizing Committee, Professor Zhao Hongwei, President of China University of Mining and Technology and Conference Chair, and Professor Hao Qun, President of Changchun University of Science and Technology and Honorary Conference Chair.
The conference program brought together 21 distinguished plenary and invited speakers, including Professor James Morris, former President and Life Fellow of the IEEE Nanotechnology Council, Professor Konstantin Novoselov, the 2010 Nobel Laureate in Physics, Professors Wang Zhonglin and Chi Lifeng, both members of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Professor Harald Fuchs, a member of both the German National Academy of Sciences and the German Academy of Science and Engineering, Professor Luisa Torsi, Vice Chair of the Scientific Council of the Italian National Research Council, and Professor Kostadin Kostadinov, Advisor to the Minister of Education and Science of Bulgaria. Their presentations covered a broad spectrum of frontier topics in nanoscience and nanotechnology.
In addition to the plenary sessions, the conference featured a dedicated forum for international journal editors, 30 thematic symposia—including two academic sessions under the EU Research Programs and China's National Key R&D Programs—and 9 parallel sessions for contributed papers. The extensive program ensured comprehensive coverage of the latest research developments across the field.
With approximately 300 top-tier experts and scholars from both domestic and international institutions gathering in Changchun, IEEE 3M-NANO 2025 not only fostered vibrant academic dialogue and cross-border collaboration but also further underscored the city's growing prominence as a hub for nanoscience and technological innovation.
