Researchers have developed a new class of biomaterial for a nanovaccine that boosted immunity in mice with metabolic disorders linked to gut bacteria. Metabolic syndrome is a group of conditions that includes obesity, inflammation, and insulin resistance. Nanovaccines have been found to induce stronger immunity than traditional soluble vaccines in pre-clinical models.

Purdue University engineers have built a tiny, flexible sensor that is faster and more precise than past attempts at tracking a chemical called glutamate. The sensor, an implantable device on the spinal cord, could be used to monitor whether a drug for neurotrauma or brain disease is working.

Engineers and physicists from Tufts University have devised a low-cost membrane that can rapidly filter oil from water and oil mixtures without the membrane getting fouled. This advance could be a game changer in the battle against pollution.

Computer scientists at Caltech have designed DNA molecules that can carry out reprogrammable computations, for the first time creating so-called algorithmic self-assembly, in which the same "hardware" can be configured to run different "software." The system is analogous to a computer, but instead of using transistors and diodes, it uses molecules to represent a six-bit binary number as input, during computation, and as output.
