Kinneret Keren
Exploits biology-based self-assembly to build molecular electronics. She created a self-assembled molecular-electronic device -- a carbon nanotube transistor -- using a DNA template.

Dustin Carr
Creates nanoscale silicon devices that can detect subatomic-scale movements.

Ravi Kane
Created a highly potent anthrax treatment in which each drug molecule blocks multiple toxin molecules rather than just one.
