3D Visualization of IBM Research NanoDLD Pillar Array Technology
3D rendering of IBM Research lab-on-a-chip nanotechnology that can separate biological particles down to 20 nanometers (nm) in diameter, a scale that gives access to important particles such as DNA, viruses and exosomes. The IBM team’s work has focused on exosomes which are vesicles that contain information about the health status of the originating cell that they are shed from, revealing the presence and state of developing cancer and other diseases. This innovation could potentially reveal signs of disease at the earliest of stages, before patients experience any physical symptoms and when the outcome from treatment is most positive.
