Researchers are developing the tools necessary for precise delivery of a certain amount of drugs to an exact location in the body. This method takes advantage of microbubbles expanding and contracting when they interact with the ultrasound, essentially pumping the intravenously delivered drug to wherever the ultrasound is pointing.

Researchers have invented a new ultrasensitive diagnostic device that could allow doctors to detect cancer quickly from a droplet of blood or plasma, leading to timelier interventions and better outcomes for patients. The “lab-on-a-chip” for “liquid biopsy” analysis detects exosomes — tiny parcels of biological information produced by tumor cells to stimulate tumor growth or metastasize.

Scientists have developed a new technique that could make genetically engineering any type of plant—in particular, gene editing with CRISPR-Cas9—simple and quick. Also, the technique allows gene modifications or deletions that in the United States and countries other than the European Union would not trigger the designation "genetically modified," or GMO.

A research team has won funding to advance a nanomaterial-based detector platform. If successful, the technology could benefit NASA’s efforts to send humans to the Moon and Mars. These tiny platforms could be deployed on planetary rovers to detect small quantities of water and methane, for example, or be used as monitoring or biological sensors to maintain astronaut health and safety.

Researchers have developed mode-locked quantum dot lasers on silicon, a technology that can massively increase the data transmission capacity of data centers, telecommunications companies, and network hardware.
