A strong moment for Northwestern, Mattiq, and Illinois.
At the IIN and NU spinout Mattiq, materials discovery is already linking the quantum and nanoscales.
Now, quantum algorithms are entering the picture.

The discovery of C60 in 1985 reshaped our understanding of materials.
At the 40th anniversary celebration, strong parallels were made with the discovery of spherical nucleic acids (SNAs), a new form of one of the most important molecules ever synthesized by chemists.

This is worth watching. Julie is a superstar!@IINanoNU
PhD candidate Julie Bourgeois wowed the audience at the 2025 Kabiller Award Dinner on Tuesday with her work in structural nanomedicine and how researchers are capitalizing on its principles to redefine how we tackle the world's most debilitating diseases.

Excited to share our first paper in @acsnano! By tuning nanoparticle surface ligands, we control their interactions with enzymes and boost enzyme activity over 10-fold! A step toward programmable biocatalysis!
Here's a thread on the key points...
