The Biomolecular Nanotechnology research group led by Ikerbasque research professor Aitziber L. Cortajarena has developed a new iron-based contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging that can be used for both diagnosis and treatment.

As the electronics in our technology keep shrinking, traditional silicon-based chips are approaching their fundamental physical limits. Yet the wires connecting them might be able to shrink beyond conventional dimensions, as scientists have created one of the longest single-atom copper chains to date that could serve as molecular wires.

Observers can see the cup in two distinctive contrasting colours, based on whether they see reflected light or light directly passing through it

Researchers have finally found out why the jade-green cup appears red when lit from behind

The Biomolecular Nanotechnology research group led by Ikerbasque research professor Aitziber L. Cortajarena has developed a new iron-based contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging that can be used for both diagnosis and treatment. In a study carried out on lab-grown human heart tissue, it was proven that the contrast agent accumulates in the fibrotic tissue, that its signal intensity on the MRI image increases with the severity of the disease, and that it slows disease progression.

Nature Nanotechnology, Published online: 13 October 2026; doi:10.1038/s41565-026-02300-3Two decades on from the first atomic-scale devices, atom-based silicon quantum computers have progressed from proof of concept to scalable quantum processors that are rapidly gaining commercial traction. What remains is largely a matter of industrial-scale engineering and 3D integration.

Nature Nanotechnology, Published online: 13 October 2026; doi:10.1038/s41565-026-02302-1Nanopore protein sequencing has advanced from a theoretical ambition to a practical technology, overcoming major challenges in protein unfolding, transport and signal detection to achieve single-amino-acid and post-translational modification sensitivity. With both full-length and peptide-based approaches progressing towards commercialization, the field is now focused on scaling throughput and refining analysis tools to unlock a new generation of single-molecule proteomics.
