This JACS Au Perspective traces how DNA origami has advanced from programmable nanoscale shapes into dynamic, hybrid platforms for biosensing, drug delivery, optoelectronics, nanofabrication, and synthetic biology. The authors highlight major advances in design, computation, and biomedical research while emphasizing that stability, scalability, biosafety, immunogenicity, and manufacturing barriers continue to limit broader translation.
Researchers showed that narrowing the monolayer TMD nanoribbon transistor channel to about 35 nm increased the median on-current density by ~42% and reduced the subthreshold swing by ~16%. The gains were linked to preserved edge quality, stronger gate electrostatics, and improved side-contact injection, positioning 2D nanoribbons as promising candidates for future ultra-scaled chip architectures.
Researchers developed a frequency-comb-referenced terahertz Fabry-Pérot interferometry platform that measures lithium-ion battery electrode thickness with nanometer-scale precision. The method also estimates complex refractive index and supports 3D profiling and dynamic monitoring, offering a path toward more precise, non-destructive battery manufacturing quality control.
Researchers developed a “talkative battery” that transmits internal and external temperature data through existing power connections using load shift keying. While validated with NTC-based sensing, the method could also support future nano-enabled sensors printed or embedded inside large-format lithium-ion cells.
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.
Alemnis AG is proud to introduce MINDS (Mechanical Innovative Nanotechnology Diagnostic Software), a new software platform designed to help laboratories automate complex mechanical testing workflows and improve reproducibility.
PI, a global leader in precision motion control and nanopositioning solutions, provides a large selection of piezo ceramic linear actuators for different size, speed, and force applications.
Researchers demonstrated an on-chip method for optically pumping InP nanowire emitters using transfer-printed micro-LEDs, enabling localized excitation without external optics. The approach produced room-temperature small-signal modulation in the tens of MHz range, supporting future programmable high-density nanowire photonic circuits.
Findings indicate that tuning an electrode's density of states can optimize reorganization energy, improving charge-transfer rates in electrochemical systems.
