Q&A: Combating antibiotic resistance with nanotechnology, robotics and AI
Aeron Tynes Hammack, a physicist by training and currently interim facility director of the Nanofabrication Facility at the Molecular Foundry, likes to work with nanoscale objects to better understand the world and solve problems-but he doesn't restrict himself to one category of tiny stuff. He helps develop qubits for quantum computers and viral therapies to combat infectious diseases.
The tech section covers stories about technology making life better, not just more profitable. Open-source tools reaching new audiences, accessibility breakthroughs, AI applications in healthcare and education, infrastructure improvements that quietly make cities work better. Product launches and funding rounds are excluded unless they deliver tangible public benefit.
