Micro-submarines may one day deliver medications inside the body

Engineers at UNSW have shown that it is possible to deliver medications directly to affected organs using tiny, self-propelled micro-submarines. The researchers have developed micrometer-sized submarines that exploit biological environments to tune their buoyancy to enable them to carry drugs to specific locations inside the body. Researcher Dr. Kang Liang says that the knowledge can be used to design next-gen … Continue reading
