Where do we go from here? The authors reflect on the development and current state of maturity of nanochemistry as a field of science. Has the area delivered on its scientific and technical promises or was it another over‐hyped fad? It is argued that not only has nanochemistry broken down boundaries between traditional scientific schools, but could still be instrumental in providing solutions to future scientific challenges.
