Tiny Nanoswimmers Could be Used in Everything from Industrial Clean-Ups to Medication Delivery
Jun 30 2021
University of Colorado Boulder researchers have discovered that minuscule, self-propelled particles called nanoswimmers can escape from mazes as much as 20 times faster than other, passive particles, paving the way for their use in everything from industrial clean-ups to medication delivery.
The findings, published this week in the
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, describe how these tiny synthetic nanorobots are incredibly effective at escaping cavities within maze-like environments. These nanoswimmers could one day be used to remediate contaminated soil, improve water filtration or even deliver drugs to targeted areas of the body, like within dense tissues.
