Researchers have developed a new way to significantly increase the potency of almost any vaccine. The scientists used chemistry and nanotechnology to change the structural location of adjuvants and antigens on and within a nanoscale vaccine, greatly increasing vaccine performance.

Chemists have designed a bottlebrush-shaped nanoparticle that can be loaded with multiple cancer drugs, in ratios that can be easily controlled.

The next two virtual meetings of the NanoEducators Quarterly Forum (Feb. 15 and April 26) will focus on Nano4EARTH, a community effort that aims to accelerate nanotechnology-based technologies, industries, and training opportunities that address climate change.

Researchers have developed a method that could enable chip manufacturers to fabricate ever-smaller transistors from 2D materials by growing them on existing wafers of silicon and other materials.

Researchers at Cornell University want to revolutionize how polymer nanoparticles are manufactured by using a novel combination of artificial intelligence and production techniques.

NNI participating agencies provide programs that support nanotechnology research and education activities. For example, NSF has developed programs to increase science and engineering efforts in HBCUs, Hispanic-Serving Institutions, and Tribal colleges.
