Two techniques for fabricating gold monolayers, which are thin films of nanoparticles, have been devised by scientists at the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy (IPC PAS) in Warsaw. One technique is based on self-assembly, whereas the other utilizes the properties of salt solutions that are highly concentrated. Both these techniques assist in developing consistent, positively charged monolayers.

A microfluidic system has been developed by researchers from JILA, a collaboration of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Colorado Boulder (CU). The system tracks time in biochemical reactions in the range of milliseconds to seconds. Lasers were used for the measurement of sensor signals in the microfluidic system.
A research team led by Lih Y. Lin and Fred Rieke from the University of Washington (UW) has developed a novel and highly targeted method by harnessing quantum dots for activating neurons in the brain in order to understand the way of communication of nerve cells.
