Researchers at Rice University have developed biocompatible carbon nanotube fibers that can be used as electrical bridges that span across damaged heart tissue and successfully restore the atrioventricular conduction needed for proper pacing.
A team of researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the National Institutes of Health, and the University of Maryland have devised a novel, highly sensitive system to track the activity of Cdk5, an enzyme implicated in Alzheimer's disease. The high sensitivity, increased resolution, and fast turnaround time of the measurements can enable a new class of tests that could allow early detection of neurological conditions like Alzheimer’s disease years before the first symptoms appear.

Researchers at Caltech have directly observed and studied the "magic angle" for stacked sheets of graphene using a scanning tunneling microscope that can image electronic properties at atomic-length scales.

An international team of researchers uses the self-assembly properties of block co-polymers to produce a highly selective and biofouling-resistant nanoporous filter. The internally and externally cross-linked nanofibrils surrounded by a continuous aqueous medium produces a mechanically robust material that resembles an inverted strainer design.
