In quest of periodic table for matter in nanoscale

The purpose of this article was a presentation of the state of the art in the search of the periodic system for matter in nanoscale. It was preceded by a history of the discovery of traditional periodic table of the elements just to bring out the possible analogies to help in the analysis. Finally, the „road map” by Tomalia and Khanna [D.A. Tomalia, S.N. Khanna, Chem. Rev., 2016, 116, 2705] leading to a future periodic system unifying nanoscience was presented
