Scientists at ETH Zurich have developed a new approach for targeted drug delivery inside the human body. They have created tiny particles that can carry medicines directly to their intended ...

Tiny particles are opening big doors for medicine, materials science, and even environmental cleanup. Across the world, scientists are racing to understand how these microscopic swimmers behave, ...

How can medicines be directed to the precise location within the body where they need to act? Scientists have been researching this question for a long time. An example would be delivering cancer ...

If you’re teeny tiny, like microscopic or even nanoscopic in size, existence can be hard. One example of a difficulty a particle of that size might face is how to transport the necessary nutrients ...

Physicists show how microscopic particles can harness fluctuations and external forces to minimize transport energy and even extract usable work. A particle (red sphere) is guided from left to its ...
