Nanogels are extremely versatile and hydrophilic materials that have a wide range of potential applications within the medical field. Research in this area has found that nanogels are particularly useful as therapeutic drug carriers and can also enhance medical diagnostics when used as carriers for novel imaging probes and contrast agents.

In a newly-published study (Small, « A Universal Pick-and-Place Assembly for Nanowires »), a team of researchers in Oxford University’s Department of Materials led by Harish Bhaskaran, Professor of Applied Nanomaterials, describe a breakthrough approach to pick up single nanowires from the growth substrate and place them on virtually any platform with sub-micron accuracy.
