Five of the Latest Nanotechnology Breakthroughs (2025) 1. Quantum‑AI Nanopore Sequencing for Early Genetic Mutation Detection Researchers at IIT-Indore have developed a Quantum‑AI nanotechnology system that combines quantum transport with explainable artificial intelligence to more accurately detect genetic mutations, including those linked to cancer. This involves solid-state nanopore or nanogap devices that measure transverse tunnelling electric signals as DNA strands pass through; the AI decodes raw electric signals to identify nucleotide identities and mutations. This method overcomes limitations of traditional sequencing (like short reads or low resolution) and promises earlier, cheaper, and more precise diagnostics—important for personalized medicine and cancer treatment. 2. Confined Dewetting Method for Uniform Metal Nanoparticles in Disease Detection A team from IISER Pune and IIT Bombay has introduced a new technique called “confined dewetting” to produce ...
