Large-Scale Manufacturing and Directed Assembly for Nanowires	Greater than 106 improvement in the rate of nanowire synthesis compared with the current state-of-the-art Applicable to diverse classes of materials, dopant concentrations, and morphologies Superstructure assembly is programmable via tip geometry and is material independent	6891
Nanoparticle Modulation of Thrombus Formation	Selective: Operates only in high shear blood flow as in a stenosis Improved Safety: Reduces the risk of bleeding complications from slow bleeds	7466
Water Waste Removal using Magnetic Nanoparticles	Fast - The adsorption process only takes 30 minutes, and the treatment process only requires one step (i.e. no filtration). Economical - The method of preparing the magnetized nanoparticles is simple and cost-effective. Furthermore, a given batch of nanoparticles can be reused more than 20 times, with a 90% recovery rate. Green - This does not introduce harmful chemicals, and enables the recovery and recycling of phosphorous.	6869
Cancer Diagnosis Using Nanotechnology	Can be used with a simple microscope More sensitive and cost-effective Non-toxic	3424
New Imaging Tool to Compare Healthy and Diseased Cells	Discrimination between healthy & diseased cell biology Personalized medicine – specific treatment for an individual Diagnosis of a disease prior to symptoms	6458
