New Stanford technique uses sound waves to activate light-emitting particles anywhere in the body without surgery or implants.

High energy-density to power sensors and other technologies

Cambridge researchers power insulating nanoparticles with molecular antennas, creating ultra‑pure near‑infrared LEDs for deep‑tissue imaging, communications and advanced sensors.

Researchers and clinicians map and pinpoint areas for movement and sensation of touch, using chips to target related brain areas

Engineers have used printable nanoparticles to make sweat sensors that can track vitamins, hormones, and drugs in real time.

Polymer-coated nanoparticles target tumors, release drugs, and avoid chemo side effects, showing promise for cancer treatment.

This new approach uses tiny particles to train the body's defenses against tumors, achieving high survival rates and blocking cancer spread in animal tests.
