This Review illustrates opportunities for the nanophotonics community when adopting machine learning approaches.

This Review analyses the possibilities that a nanomedicine approach offers to tackle COVID-19-induced thrombosis and the associated challenges.

This Review discusses the latest advances in nanopore technologies beyond DNA sequencing.

This critical Review discusses the molecular sieving behaviour of metal–organic framework and covalent organic framework membranes as thin supported layers and mixed-matrix membranes. This behaviour is different from that of classical zeolite membranes.

A donor–acceptor molecule assembles with different molecular packing to form photocatalysts which selectively produce either H₂ or H₂O₂, depending on the aggregate structure, a proof-of-concept of photoactivity polymorphism.

Although nanomedicine has shown benefits with respect to soluble drug administration, whether delivery of multiple drugs within the same nanocarrier has advantages over administration of single-drug nanomedicines or combination of free drugs at the same dosage is unclear. Here we use a bottlebrush prodrug platform to show that the delivery of three drugs in a synergistic combination in animal models outperforms other combinatorial approaches for multiple myeloma therapy.

Optically active semiconductor quantum dots have so far suffered from nuclear inhomogeneity limiting all dynamical decoupling measurements to a few microseconds. Lattice-matched GaAs–AlGaAs quantum dots now enable decoupling schemes to achieve a 0.11 ms spin coherence time.

A van der Waals contact approach enables the observation of photocarrier-induced persistent structural polarization in lead halide perovskites.

Topological magnetic monopoles are non-local spin textures that are robust to thermal and quantum fluctuations, but they are difficult to study at the nanoscale in real space. Now, soft X-ray vector ptycho-tomography is demonstrated to determine the three-dimensional magnetization vector and emergent magnetic field of such magnetic monopoles in a ferromagnetic meta-lattice.

A neuromorphic camera can localize single fluorescent particles to below 20 nm resolution and evaluate the diffusion trajectory with millisecond temporal precision.

Let’s motor through the fog of molecular machine terminology, not only by defining our own words clearly, but by embracing the coexistence of multiple meanings in a rational and structured manner.

At Nature Nanotechnology, we want to bring stories of real-world impact of nanoscience research to the attention of the whole community.

Self-assembled monolayers nicely link the history and the future of nanoscience and nanotechnology.

First synthesized in 2011, MXenes are two-dimensional materials currently generating a whirlpool of interest.

Two comments analyse the aspects that allowed four nanomedicine start-ups to overcome the biotech valley of death and build timely businesses
