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.

Researchers at Stanford University are designing a nanoscale photon diode -- a necessary component that could bring us closer to faster, more energy-efficient computers and communications that replace electricity with light.

At DARPA’s Electronics Resurgence Initiative Summit (July 15-17, 2019), an MIT assistant professor showcased a silicon wafer that is the first step in proving DARPA’s plan to create a foundry that can compete with the world’s leading-edge foundries. The potential advantage of the new foundry’s technology over today’s 2D silicon is the ability to stack multiple layers of CMOS logic and nonvolatile memory. Such a technology can’t be achieved in silicon, so it uses carbon nanotube-based transistors instead.
