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 ...

Brain abnormalities in schizophrenia have been identified at the microscale (alterations in synaptic connections between neurons) and the macroscale (altered connections between brain regions).

A new study finds that robust superlubricity can be achieved using graphite and hexagonal boron nitride, which exhibit ultra-low friction and wear. This is an important milestone for future ...

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 ...

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 ...

On the surface, hyperscale and microscale data centers seem like opposing ideas for the future of data centers. But the reality is that they are opposite sides of the same coin, or at least ...

In this first of a two-part series, Boas shares insights into this groundbreaking work on drug delivery for liver cancer—work that is changing how, and where, we can fight tumors. Traditionally, ...

3D printed microparticles have a variety of uses, including the development of microelectronics and pharmaceuticals, and the manufacturing of complex parts, but they require precise control and manual ...
