As we look back at the many nanotechnology advances that occurred in 2024, we highlight the top 9 nanotechnology-related stories that generated the most impressions on the NNI LinkedIn page. Guess which story made it to the top? 

Scientists have made it possible to capture clear images of objects through hot windows. The core of this breakthrough lies in the design of nanoscale resonators, which work like miniature tuning forks. 

Researchers have shown that lipid nanoparticles can mediate more than 100-fold greater mRNA delivery to the placenta of pregnant mice with pre-eclampsia than a lipid nanoparticle formulation approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. 

Heman Bekele, 15, is pursuing scientific research to determine whether it would be possible to use a bar of soap to treat skin cancer. His experience finding and working with mentors has helped him develop and test this idea further and be recognized by TIME Magazine as the 2024 Kid of the Year.

Researchers have developed a platform for studying how nanoscale growing surfaces can impact cellular behavior and found that cells grown on engineered nanopillar surfaces show dramatically different metabolic profiles than cells not grown on such surfaces. 

Researchers have developed an innovative imaging platform that allows for clearer visualization of how different cellular structures interact at the nanoscale.
