Nanoparticles Swim, Navigate, Deliver Payloads
By | November 27, 2008
Professor Ayusman Sen and his team at Penn State University have developed a set of tools to propel nanoparticles through liquid, while delivering chemical payload to specific sites. The techniques may lead to future nanoparticle based localized drug delivery systems. From the report issued by the National Science Foundation: Sen’s work is driven by catalysis, the chemical phenomenon whereby a substance accelerates a chemical reaction but emerges unchanged at the end of the process. He and his
