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.
The study introduces an ultrasound-assisted polymer-coated nanowire sponge contact electrocatalysis system that disinfects bacteria, degrades dyes (6PPD-quinone), and reduces heavy metal ions in water. By combining reactive oxygen species generation with electroporation, the reusable system achieved rapid microbial inactivation and showed potential for scalable, residue-free water treatment.
Nanotechnology is reshaping dermatology by improving drug delivery, photoprotection, barrier repair, follicular targeting, and antimicrobial activity across conditions such as acne, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, wounds, alopecia, and photoaging. However, the review stresses that clinical translation remains limited by formulation instability, heterogeneous evidence, insufficient long-term safety data, and inconsistent regulatory standards.
AI-driven image analysis is transforming nanofiber characterization by moving beyond manual diameter measurements toward faster, multiparameter assessment of fiber morphology, pore structure, alignment, and defects. The review highlights a practical future in which validated AI tools, conventional software, and smart manufacturing systems work together to improve nanofiber quality control and process optimization.
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.
