Researchers developed a roll-contact printing platform that assembles highly aligned zinc oxide nanowire arrays on flexible substrates, achieving record densities of 14 NWs/µm while reducing contamination via a combing effect. Flexible UV photodetectors made with printed nanowire layers reached responsivity up to 4000 A W?¹ and retained function after bending and twisting, although spatially predefined nanowire placement remains to be demonstrated.
This review examines how light-responsive bismuth-based nanomaterials could support CT and photoacoustic imaging, antibacterial therapy, and anticancer treatment. By converting light into heat and reactive oxygen species, these experimental nanoplatforms may enable integrated diagnosis and therapy, although clinical translation still requires stronger biosafety, optical performance, and scalability data.
Chitosan nanoparticles are emerging as promising vaccine carriers that may improve antigen stability, mucosal delivery, immune activation, and thermostability for needle-free immunization. The review highlights how chemical modification, fabrication methods, and quality control could advance scalable vaccine platforms, while emphasizing that clinical translation is still early.
Researchers developed a PFAS- and NMP-free cellulose nanofibril binder that improves dispersion, adhesion, ion transport, and structural integrity in high-loading lithium-ion battery positive electrodes. The binder enabled NCM811 electrodes with high mass loading, strong areal capacity, and improved cycling stability, suggesting a more sustainable route to high-energy battery manufacturing.
PI, a global leader in precision motion control and air bearing positioning systems, offers the A-123 air bearing linear slide, a high-performance air bearing linear translation stage designed for ultra-precise scanning, metrology, inspection, and nanopositioning applications.
Researchers developed a Janus nanofiber “bionic cooling skin” that combines solvent-welded PVDF nanofibers with visible light-responsive Fe-ZIF8 metal-organic frameworks for infected wound care.
In preclinical Staphylococcus aureus-infected mouse wounds, the nanofiber dressing improved antibacterial activity, passive cooling, breathability, and wound-healing-associated gene responses.
Lung cancer remains one of the world’s deadliest cancers, yet despite decades of effort to develop new drugs, many fail because they don’t stay in the body long enough to be effective or because they damage healthy organs.
Researchers developed a semi-quantitative probability-impact framework to prioritize engineered nanoparticles and micro/nanoplastics in agri-food systems based on exposure potential, toxicity evidence, and uncertainty. Across weighting scenarios, silver, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, carbon nanotubes, cerium dioxide, and copper oxide emerged as high-priority particles for targeted monitoring and refined toxicological assessment.
This paper proposes a convergent curriculum framework that integrates nanotechnology, MEMS, magnetic materials, and generative and agentic AI to strengthen U.S. advanced-manufacturing workforce development. It argues that future competitiveness depends on stackable credentials, shared lab infrastructure, industry-academia partnerships, and training that links fabrication, metrology, automation, data interpretation, and ethical oversight.
This review examines how nanotechnology, topological materials, Majorana fermions, Weyl semimetals, and quantum simulation are converging to shape the Second Quantum Revolution.
It highlights possible routes toward fault-tolerant quantum computing, nanoscale medicine, low-power electronics, energy technologies, and environmental applications, while noting that many advances remain developmental.
