Tomorrow, the biggest questions in nano go public. Get ready for 33 Unresolved Questions in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology in @acsnano. #Nano33

Chad Mirkin and Ted Sargent discovered a new catalyst for clean hydrogen that rivals iridium and costs one-sixteenth as much. The megalibrary platform made it possible in a single afternoon! Published today in JACS: https://t.co/ppdYvfu821

Congrats to @NorthwesternU faculty member @CHADNANO on receiving the 2026 ACS Award in the Chemistry of Materials! 🎉 This award recognizes his outstanding contributions shaping the future of #materialschemistry with real-world impact. @IINanoNU #ResearchImpact #NUChemImpact

Friday marks the final day for Kathy Cook after 25 years of extraordinary service to the International Institute for Nanotechnology. From day one, she helped build the Institute into a global leader in nanoscience. Her impact is lasting, and we are deeply grateful.

Professor Ludmilla Aristilde found that carbohydrates act as molecular glue by forming water bridges between organic matter and soil minerals, significantly enhancing soil’s water retention. https://t.co/Xdju39Wpao

@BeckmanFnd @oceventphotos Thanks for highlighting @CHADNANO’s keynote. Exciting to see @NorthwesternU leading the conversation at the Beckman Symposium! @IINanoNU #FacultyExcellence #NUChemImpact

What if the most powerful technology in your life was invisible? Ted Sargent joins Nanoscape to break down how nanoscience became the backbone of innovation. Listen at https://t.co/X2EJdcscTI or your favorite podcast platform. @tedsargentNU_TO @NUChemistry @TrienensInst

The 2025 #BeckmanSymposium featured strong representation from @NorthwesternU. @CHADNANO delivered the keynote on structural #nanomedicine, and James Gaynor was named a 2025 Beckman Young Investigator for work on #electron spin, motion, and molecular shape. #NUChemImpact

Chad Mirkin and team show how to build colloidal crystals with intentional defects and cavities using DNA-guided nanoparticle assembly. This strategy could enable new optical, sensing, and catalytic materials. Read it today in Advanced Materials: https://t.co/8fWLiGxGuR

We are proud to celebrate IIN faculty member Mercouri Kanatzidis, who has been awarded the 2025 Albert Einstein World Award of Science by the World Cultural Council. A well-deserved recognition for a truly transformative researcher.

“We just scratched the surface.” After a year as chair of @NUChemistry, Omar Farha returns to Nanoscape to discuss MOFs, sustainability, and the future of nanotechnology. 🎧 New episode is LIVE. Listen at https://t.co/X2EJdcrF4a or wherever you get your podcasts.

What are MOFs? Why do they matter? Professor Omar Farha broke it down in one of our most popular Nanoscape episodes — and he’s back tomorrow with more! 🎧 Catch up now: https://t.co/tHMRPx8mlv

Check out our latest article from @NUChemistry and @IINanoNU in @JPhysChem where we discuss how real time density functional tight-binding models can be used to study plasmonics from a more quantum perspective. https://t.co/JhUHmCHrAZ

Cancer. Diagnostics. Programmable materials. One @NorthwesternU breakthrough is shaping it all. #SNAs power cancer drugs and diagnostics at over half the world’s top hospitals—and launched structural #nanomedicine. 🧪💜 #NUChemImpact 🔗 https://t.co/jUxJJ0pelV

Nicholas Peppas receives the Kabiller Prize for groundbreaking work in biomaterials and drug delivery. His research at @CockrellSchool has transformed targeted therapies and made oral treatments possible for millions.

Michael Mitchell receives the Kabiller Rising Star Award. His innovations in cancer immunotherapy and gene delivery at @PennEngineers are shaping next-generation treatments and inspiring future bioengineers.
