A new tool could reduce costs for diagnosing infectious diseases.

SMU nanotechnology expert MinJun Kim helped a team of researchers at The University of Texas at Austin to develop a less expensive way to detect nuclease digestion – one of the critical steps in many nucleic acid sensing applications, such as those used to identify COVID-19.

From studying a gene that is mutated in many human cancers to learning more about an age-old volcano on the Moon, SMU professors and students kept making international headlines in 2023. Here are some of the highlights.

SMU nanotechnology expert MinJun Kim and his team have been awarded a $1.8 million, R01 grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for research related to gene therapy – a technique that modifies a person's genes to treat or cure disease.

Collaborative research between SMU nanorobotics authority MinJun Kim's Biological Actuation, Sensing, and Transport (BAST) Lab and international research and engineering company ARA has demonstrated for the first time that certain chemical coatings, applied to micro/nanoparticles, can alter their swimming propulsion within biological fluids.

Date Time New Study Unveils Phase Synchronization of Fluid-Fluid Interfaces as Hydrodynamically Coupled Oscillators The phenomenon of synchronization is found in many natural and artificial systems, from firefly flashing to the synchronization of two pendulum clocks hanging from a wall. Hydrodynamic interactions also play a role in synchronized motions of coupled oscillators in fluids. Therefore, understanding the mechanism will facilitate development of applications in fluid mechanics. For exa...
