The Nanomanufacturing COR kickoff meeting will highlight user facilities in the United States and Europe that are relevant to the nanomanufacturing community, including the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, the network of European Union Pilot Plants, and Open Innovation Test Beds. 

Using 2D materials, researchers have built superconducting qubits that are a fraction of the size of previous qubits, paving the way for smaller quantum computers.

In this episode of the “Nano Matters” podcast, Dr. Alexis Carpenter, of Triad Growth Partners + AxNano, discusses how nanotechnology is used to detect and degrade per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also known as “forever chemicals.”

Engineers have developed tactile sensors composed of asymmetric nanopillars that are the first to integrate a highly sensitive sense of touch with directionality, which could enable a prosthetic device to grasp a falling object more tightly.

Researchers have developed a unique way of modifying the surfaces of nanoparticles within life-saving medications to deliver infusions to people experiencing trauma more quickly and with a reduced risk of negative reactions.

Quantum dots tend to randomly blink off, which can be a problem for certain applications. Now, researchers have come up with a way to control this unwanted blinking by firing a beam of mid-infrared laser light for a few trillionths of a second.

The new Strategic Plan presents goals, objectives, and actions that will guide agencies and the nanotechnology community over the next five years.
