Work on a new technology roadmap and an exceptional wave of consolidation hint at fundamental changes in the micro- and nanoelectronics industry, as Christian Martin explains.
Nanopores are on the brink of fundamentally changing DNA sequencing. At the same time, DNA origami provides unprecedented freedom in molecular design. Here, I suggest why a combination of solid-state nanopores and DNA nanotechnology will lead to exciting new experiments.
Developing useful methods to control light–matter interactions at the nanoscale requires an appreciation of the needs of industry and innovative approaches that go beyond plasmonics.
Predictions for the development of microelectronics provide a valuable example about the virtues of measured promises in nanotechnology, as Chris Toumey explains.
Changxu Liu and Jianfeng Huang reflect on their experiences of a collaborative research project that was at a crossroads between physics and chemistry.
