Researchers developed a sacrificial-template porous silica thin film for electrochemically directed oligonucleotide synthesis that increased the available reaction area while preserving localized electrochemical control. The platform supported parallel synthesis of 121-nucleotide strands and recovery of an encoded 60-byte message, while highlighting remaining challenges in synthesis fidelity, parallelism, and cost.
A perspective in Next Nanotechnology examines how integrating quantum biosensors with microfluidic organ-on-a-chip platforms could enable continuous, high-resolution monitoring of electrophysiology, metabolism, and local tissue conditions. The approach could extend measurements from the millimeter to the nanoscale, but challenges in optical and microwave integration, thermal control, fabrication, and signal processing remain.
This article reviews the mutual empowerment between artificial intelligence and metasurfaces, characterizing that artificial intelligence enables intelligent nanophotonics, while metasurfaces facilitate optical intelligence.
Researchers developed a nanopore-based ionic memristor that uses localized Joule heating to precipitate cerium sulfate and reversibly block ion transport. The device reproduced synaptic-like memory, learning, chemical sensing, and image-storage functions in a 5 × 4 fluidic array.
This review demonstrates how nanozyme aptasensors combine synthetic enzyme-like nanomaterials with DNA or RNA aptamers to enhance selective biosensing across clinical, environmental, and food-safety applications. The paper compares three major sensor designs, NAISA, adsorption/desorption-based systems, and amplification-based platforms, while outlining the key challenges for point-of-care translation.
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.
