Spinning up control: Propeller shape helps direct nanoparticles, researchers say

Pennsylvania State University   -   Organizations and Universities Websites

Self-propelled nanoparticles could potentially advance drug delivery and lab-on-a-chip systems — but they are prone to go rogue with random, directionless movements. Now, researchers have developed an approach to rein in the synthetic particles.
