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 ...

A new University of Maryland study has revealed a coordinated dance of microscopic particles—breaking up and clustering back ...

Conditions can get rough in the micro- and nanoworld. For example, to ensure that nutrients can still be optimally transported within cells, the minuscule transporters involved need to respond to the ...

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 ...
