Spatial omics methods are extensions of traditional histological methods that can illuminate important biomedical mechanisms of physiology and disease by examining the distribution of biomolecules, including nucleic acids, proteins, lipids, and metabolites, at microscale resolution within tissues or individual cells. Since, for some applications, the desired resolution for spatial omics approaches the nanometer scale, classical tools have inherent limitations when applied to spatial omics analyses, and they can measure only a limited number of targets. Nanotechnology applications have been instrumental in overcoming these bottlenecks. When nanometer-level resolution is needed for spatial omics, super resolution microscopy or detection imaging techniques, such as mass spectrometer imaging, are required to generate precise spatial images of target expression. DNA nanostructures are widely used in spatial omics for purposes such as nucleic acid detection, signal amplification, and DNA barcoding for target molecule labeling, underscoring advances in spatial omics. Other properties of nanotechnologies include advanced spatial omics methods, such as microfluidic chips and DNA barcodes. In this review, we describe how nanotechnologies have been applied to the development of spatial transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, epigenomics, and multiomics approaches. We focus on how nanotechnology supports improved resolution and throughput of spatial omics, surpassing traditional techniques. We also summarize future challenges and opportunities for the application of nanotechnology to spatial omics methods.
