Drug Delivery Could Someday Be Child’s Play
Abstract:
Peer Fischer and Ambarish Ghosh created nanoscale "propellers" that look like corkscrews or bacterial flagella. The team successfully steered the propellers using a magnetic field. This technique allowed Fischer and Ghosh to push 5-µm silica nanobeads along a precise and reproducible path. After additional research, the propellers could one day deliver particles in the bloodstream, possibly after being injected.
