Saumil Bandyopadhyay was only 18 years old when he first started to work on a unique infrared detector. These detectors can reduce the rate of car crashes by allowing vehicles to sense each other in darkness or fog. The concept was created by Bandyopahyay's fear of driving. He was also selected for the Ingenuity Award for revolutionizing nanotechnology. (I.1)

Sonoplot is known for their microplotter instruments which allow the user to print out materials for electronics and biological spotting. Its ultrasonic technology allows for materials like nanometallic silver, carbon nanotubes, graphene, DNA, and proteins to be printed in microscale spots, lines, or other shapes with ease and flexibility.

Engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed spinach plants that can detect explosives and wirelessly relay information. A new approach to a concept called "plant nanobionics". The plant is embedded with carbon nanotubes that detect chemical compounds known as nitroaromatics, which are often used in landmines and other explosives and emit fluorescent signals that can be read with an infrared camera.

The NCI Alliance for Nanotechnology in Cancer is invested in efforts to use the power of nanotechnology to change the way we diagnose, treat and prevent cancer. The use of nanotechnology will provide technical power and tools that will allow the development of new diagnostics, therapeutics, and preventatives to keep up with today's knowledge. (I.3)
Nanomedicine Center for Nucleoprotein Machines
The technical goals of the Nanomedicine Center for Nucleoprotein Machines to develop a clinically applicable gene correction technology to treat single-gene disorders, and to demonstrate the efficacy of this approach in treating sickle cell disease. The Nanomedicine Center for Nucleoprotein Machines plan for using nanotechnology and nanomedicine will use it to observe, control, and systematically optimize each step in the gene correction process.

Electrical and computer engineers at the University of Santa Barbara have developed a design for a functional computing device on the nanoscale. Their concept involves a dense, three-dimensional circuit that theoretically could be packed into a block no bigger than 50 nanometers. (I.7)
A team of researchers led by Prof. Peer Fischer at the Max Planck Institute have designed a scalloped-shaped nanorobot that will have the ability to swim through the bloodstream, repairing damaged tissue and transporting medicine. (I.8)
A member of the ONEX Company Group, Glonatech is a lead supplier of nanoscience and nanotechnology solutions. Supplying items from raw nano-materials to to the final nano-structure products, it aims to be the leading supplier of nanomaterials and products worldwide. (I.5)
