A new approach could help materials scientists identify the appropriate molecules to use in order to synthesize target nanomaterials. The method was developed by Daniel Packwood of Kyoto University's Institute for Integrated Cell-Material Sciences (iCeMS) and Taro Hitosugi of the Tokyo Institute of Technology. It involves connecting the chemical properties of molecules with the nanostructures that form as a result of their interaction. A machine learning technique generates data that is then used to develop a diagram that categorizes different molecules according to the nano-sized shapes they form.

The question is why this naming? I don't find a common base between the periodic table of element and periodic table of nanomaterials. May I miss something.
On other hand, the methods and precursors for synthesizing a certain nanomaterial may be reach tens of methods and they expand, so the table will be infinite and not specified.
Atomic under-coordination, as new degree of freedom, reconciles surfaces, defects, sized and shaped structures: bond order loss shortens and stiffens bonds between uncoordinated atoms associated with local density of charge and energy; the densely entrapped charge polarizes in turn unpaired electrons in outermost shell of the least uncoordinated atoms.
The atomic CN should add a third dimension to the T-P phase diagram as T-P-z, for sure.
