Mini medical machines destroy pancreas cancer cells in new study

The idea of using MENPs to wirelessly control local electric fields was first proposed by Khizroev and Liang in 2011. Over the past decade, the concept evolved through global research partnerships and technological breakthroughs, culminating in this study.

New lab reactor uses water instead of toxic solvents

Many chemical processes in manufacturing and research rely on organic solvents, which are harmful to the environment and expensive to handle safely. The development of photoactive water-based micelles capable of driving chemical reactions offers a safer, greener alternative. Additionally, the system can be reused, improving its cost-effectiveness and environmental footprint.
