MRNA Nanoparticles Reprogram T Cells In Vivo, Show Promise
Impressive. In vivo reprogramming of killer T cells with mRNA-nanoparticle packaging in non-human primates. Multiple use cases in the clinic vs pathogens and cancer, no less an alternative version vs autoimmune diseases https://t.co/ddhebnxvkE @SciImmunology
Photonic‑Crystal Laser Beams Data Across River in First Demo
The laser inside your 4K Blu-Ray player is dim and unfocused. A newer kind, built from photonic crystals, is so bright and directional it can beam data across a river with minimal hardware. A Glasgow company just showed it working...
Direct Protein Reading Platform Ends Proteomics Blind Spot
🐠 Everything we know about biology has been built on an incomplete picture. DNA tells us what a cell might do. Proteins tell us what it’s actually doing. Pumpkinseed announced their $20M Series A today (led by Future Ventures and NfX)...
Autonomous Lab Discovers Brighter Lead‑Free Nanoplatelets
An autonomous laboratory rapidly identified brighter, lead-free light-emitting nanoplatelets by autonomously testing and optimizing synthesis recipes, offering a scalable approach to accelerate safer nanomaterial discovery for optoelectronic applications. nanotechnology

A new DNA nano-ring platform enables precise capture and orientation of individual membrane proteins, advancing the study of these vital cellular gatekeepers and opening new possibilities in medicine, imaging, and synthetic biology. nanotechnology
Motorless Microscopic Robot Swims and Navigates via Physics
Scientists just built a robot smaller than the width of a human hair (!) It has no motor, no computer and no battery It's a 3D-printed, flexible chain of microscopic segments that, after being hit with an electric field, started swimming through...
Microplastics Found in Most Human Brains, Concentrated Near Tumors
Microplastics and nanoplastics have been detected in nearly all human brain samples, including healthy tissue, with higher concentrations observed near tumors, raising new questions about their potential impact on brain health. microplastics
Four‑nanometer RuO₂ Surface Work Function Tunable >1 eV
At a thickness of just four nanometers, ruthenium dioxide metal exhibits unexpected electronic behavior, with its surface work function tunable by over 1 eV through interfacial polarization. This finding may influence future electronic and quantum device design. nanotechnology

Domain Walls Stay Stable; Demagnetization Happens Locally
Ultrafast imaging reveals that magnetic domain walls remain highly stable under intense laser pulses, indicating that demagnetization occurs locally rather than through rapid boundary movement—an advance for faster, more efficient data storage. nanomagnetism
ASML's $300M EUV Machine Fires Moon‑Distance Laser Precision
ASML’s EUV machine costs $300m+ and its light technology is so precise that do the equivalent of hitting your thumb with a laser pointer from as far away as the moon https://t.co/Yp9RrKMd7O
Nanophotonic Chips Finally Make the Proteome Visible
We sequence genomes and map transcriptomes with ease. Why is the proteome still invisible? Proteins are where biology actually happens. But until now, we have lacked the tools to read them at scale. @jendionne and her team are building nanophotonic chips that...
