Nature Outlook: Research commercialization

Universities need to deliver more value for research outlay. Companies are facing competition in the search for the next business-sustaining product. These sectors have their own objectives, but are locked in a synergistic embrace that is fuelling a push to extract commercial value from academic research.

Radiative heat conductances between dielectric and metallic parallel plates with nanoscale gaps   pp509 - 514
Bai Song, Dakotah Thompson, Anthony Fiorino, Yashar Ganjeh, Pramod Reddy & Edgar Meyhofer
doi:10.1038/nnano.2016.17
Near field-based enhancements in radiative heat conductance that exceed far-field limits by orders of magnitude are demonstrated by manipulating the gap size between plane-parallel dielectric and metallic plates with nanometre precision.

Near-field radiative heat transfer between parallel structures in the deep subwavelength regime   pp515 - 519
Raphael St-Gelais, Linxiao Zhu, Shanhui Fan & Michal Lipson
doi:10.1038/nnano.2016.20
A microelectromechanical system is used to bring two parallel beams to sub-100 nm separation and measure the radiative heat transfer between them under a high thermal gradient.

Chiral atomically thin films   pp520 - 524
Cheol-Joo Kim, A. Sánchez-Castillo, Zack Ziegler, Yui Ogawa, Cecilia Noguez & Jiwoong Park
doi:10.1038/nnano.2016.3
Graphene layers can be placed on top of each other with accurate twisting angles and show a remarkably high circular dichroism.

Intraoperative diagnostics and elimination of residual microtumours with plasmonic nanobubbles   pp525 - 532
Ekaterina Y. Lukianova-Hleb, Yoo-Shin Kim, Ihor Belatsarkouski, Ann M. Gillenwater, Brian E. O'Neill & Dmitri O. Lapotko
doi:10.1038/nnano.2015.343
Plasmonic nanobubbles can guide the detection and precise removal of residual tumours known to cause lethal cancer recurrence and metastases, offering a surgical tool that can potentially improve cancer survival.

Vascular bursts enhance permeability of tumour blood vessels and improve nanoparticle delivery   pp533 - 538
Yu Matsumoto, Joseph W. Nichols, Kazuko Toh, Takahiro Nomoto, Horacio Cabral, Yutaka Miura, R. James Christie, Naoki Yamada, Tadayoshi Ogura, Mitsunobu R. Kano, Yasuhiro Matsumura, Nobuhiro Nishiyama, Tatsuya Yamasoba, You Han Bae & Kazunori Kataoka
doi:10.1038/nnano.2015.342
The enhanced extravasation of nanoparticles from tumour blood vessels into the tumour interstitial space has been found to be due to dynamic vents that form transient openings and closings at leaky blood vessels, offering new insights on drug permeability and distribution patterns in tumours.

A quantum phase switch between a single solid-state spin and a photon   pp539 - 544
Shuo Sun, Hyochul Kim, Glenn S. Solomon & Edo Waks
doi:10.1038/nnano.2015.334
Placing a single solid-state spin in an optical nanocavity results in a switch that operates at the fundamental quantum limit, where the spin modulates the polarization of a photon and a single photon flips the spin state.
