Microscale implantable drug delivery systems (IDDSs) have advanced the control of drug delivery parameters, providing better disease control through more accurate, targeted and less painful drug ...

Development teams that benefit most from high-resolution additive manufacturing are using it to ask better questions earlier ...

Researchers have developed a microscale organic-inorganic hybridization strategy integrating biosafety, physiological ...

In the ever-evolving landscape of technological innovation, the combination of precision engineering and additive manufacturing has given rise to a revolutionary concept: microscale 3D printing. This ...

A recent article in Nature Chemical Engineering presented a microscale, soft, and flexible lithium-ion droplet battery (LiDB), developed using lipid-supported droplets synthesized from a biocompatible ...

(Phys.org) -- In the phenomenon of superlubricity, two solid surfaces can slide past each other with almost no friction. The effect occurs when the solid surfaces have crystalline structures and their ...

A new study shows how micro-scale 'rockets,' powered by acoustic waves and an on-board bubble motor, can be maneuvered through 3D landscapes of cells and particles using magnets. A new study from the ...

A new process for microscale 3D printing creates particles of nearly any shape for applications in medicine, manufacturing, research and more -- at the pace of up to 1 million particles a day. A new ...

While traditional mechanical testing has long been the standard approach, an increasing number of researchers and engineers are now turning to in-situ micromechanical testing within scanning electron ...

Knots are known for boosting the strength of materials, from the tiniest twists of DNA to (potentially) the very fabric of the universe. Now, Caltech engineers have developed a new material consisting ...

High-throughput screening (HTS) is an established method in drug discovery by which hundreds of thousands of compounds are screened in an automated fashion for activity as inhibitors or activators of ...
