The EU-funded GoNano project explored how co-creation can be used to enhance the responsiveness of nanotechnology research and innovation. Responsiveness is understood as the capacity and willingness of researchers and developers to integrate societal considerations in the early stages of technology development. Over the course of three years, GoNano brought together citizens, civil society organizations, industry, researchers, and policymakers across Europe to align future nanotechnologies with societal needs and concerns.

Color-changing array of silk microneedles could help stem outbreaks and avoid food waste.
Physicists use classical concepts to decipher strange quantum behaviors in an ultracold gas.
Scientists have created a new type of two-dimensional nanofilm from an organic material called calixarene. The invention can be used as a protective coating in electronics and as a part of molecular filters.
Researchers have developed an ingestible capsule that in rat studies captured bacteria and other biological samples while passing through the gastrointestinal tract.
Researchers have designed a molecule that sticks tightly to the coronavirus spike protein, preventing the virus from infecting cells. The molecule might someday be used in an aerosolized drug to treat or prevent COVID-19.
Researchers have engineered a system of many small magnetic whirls to form a regularly ordered state. Such a transition from a disordered to an ordered phase is analogous to the well-known crystallization, which, however, occurs here in two dimensions.
Scientists have developed a new spectroscopic-microscope, which can be used to observe a single nanoparticle in real time. This enabled the first detection of a nanoparticle's handedness while it is freely moving in solution.
Researchers demonstrate a novel type of sensor which is applied directly to the skin to capture certain biometric information.
