100 Best universities for Nanotechnology in China

Updated: February 29, 2024

Ranking by academic field

Below is a list of best universities in China ranked based on their research performance in Nanotechnology. A graph of 37.4M citations received by 1.41M academic papers made by 481 universities in China was used to calculate publications' ratings, which then were adjusted for release dates and added to final scores.

We don't distinguish between undergraduate and graduate programs nor do we adjust for current majors offered. You can find information about granted degrees on a university page but always double-check with the university website.
