AI is increasingly being used across precision oncology to accelerate drug discovery, predict resistance, and guide the design of nanoparticle-based drug-delivery systems. The review highlights AI-guided nanocarriers, adaptive treatment strategies, and multi-omics analysis while emphasizing challenges involving data quality, transparency, generalizability, and regulation.

Researchers developed a coaxial core-shell nanofiber separator that combines high thermal stability with substantial stretch tolerance for lithium-ion batteries. The membrane showed far less heat-induced shrinkage than commercial polyethylene and maintained stronger battery performance at elevated temperatures, although repeated stretching degraded its pore network.

Researchers developed atomically thin amorphous carbon films that combine an ultralow dielectric constant with high dielectric strength, mechanical hardness, and resistance to copper-ion diffusion. The films retain their dielectric properties down to 0.8 nm and can be grown conformally below 300 °C, highlighting their potential for highly scaled semiconductor technologies.

PI (Physik Instrumente), a global leader in precision motion control and nanopositioning technology, offers the P-733 XYZ piezo nanopositioning stage, delivering 0.1 nm (1 Å) positioning resolution for demanding applications in super-resolution microscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM), surface nanometrology, and advanced imaging.

Researchers developed a potentially scalable metallurgical route that converts crystalline boron into dispersible, amorphous B/O-rich two-dimensional nanosheets through lithium alloying, chemical delithiation, and exfoliation. The nanosheets were incorporated into solution-processed SiC composite coatings with high solar absorptance, highlighting their potential for energy and p...
