Physicists at Stanford University have stumbled upon a novel form of magnetism, predicted but never seen before, that is generated when two honeycomb-shaped lattices of carbon are carefully stacked and rotated to a special angle. The authors suggest the magnetism, called orbital ferromagnetism, could prove useful for certain applications, such as quantum computing.

A team of engineers at the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis has found a new way to create single-chain protein nanostructures by using synthetic biology and protein-assembly techniques. In the future, these protein nanostructures could be used to improve sensing capabilities, speeding chemical reactions, in drug delivery and other applications.

Researchers at The University of Texas at Dallas have demonstrated that nanomedicines can be designed to interface with a natural detoxification process in the liver to improve their disease targeting while minimizing potential side effects.

Researchers at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University, the Harvard John A. Paulson School for Engineering and Applied Sciences, and McGill University have developed a material that could speed up wound healing. The new material, called active adhesive dressing (AAD), is based on heat-responsive hydrogels that are mechanically active, stretchy, tough, highly adhesive, and antimicrobial.

Scientists at the University of Washington School of Medicine and the University of California San Francisco have created the first artificial protein switch that can work inside living cells to modify the cell's complex internal circuitry. The scientists have shown that this switch can be "programmed" to modify gene expression, redirect cellular traffic, degrade specific proteins, and control protein interactions. Once assembled by a cell, these switches measure eight nanometers on their longest side.
