Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have used a rapid gene sequencing technique to measure nanoscopic structures. Using a technique known as a ‘nanopore translocation’, nanoscale rods and spheres were passed through a very small hole in a thin membrane in order to determine the surface electrical properties of the structures.

Researchers have developed a new method to manufacture cement that is more greener and stronger. Concrete is widely used as a construction material and is significant contributor of greenhouse-gas emissions leading to global warming. Cement is a major component of concrete.
An international team of researchers from Rice University, Marseille University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed atom-scale computational models to enhance the properties of concrete for general applications.
With the objective of revolutionizing astronomy education, the Space Telescope Science Institute researchers, Antonella Nota and Carol Christian, convert Hubble Space Telescope pictures into tactile 3-D images using 3D printers in order to help visually impaired people to explore space objects.

Researchers at Berkeley Lab have used bimetallic nanoparticles as a catalyst in the process for reduction of carbon dioxide. Chemist Peidong Yang of the Materials Sciences Division at Berkeley Lab has led the study.
A team of researchers has analyzed a new approach for tuning of gallium arsenide (GaAs). This material possesses natural semiconducting properties. The nanoparticle and nanowire form of GaAs can be used in applications where silicon is being presently used, such as in the manufacture of optoelectronics and solar cells.
