Tiny Spheres With Different Faces Can be Used as Microscopic Mixers, Transport, Self Propelled Sensors and Targeted Drug Delivery Devices

For the first time, researchers at North Carolina State University have demonstrated that microscopic "two-faced" spheres whose halves are physically or chemically different – so-called Janus particles – will move like stealthy submarines when an alternating electrical field is applied to liquid surrounding the particles.

Artificial Spider Silk Made From Bacteria to Come From Better Understanding of How Molecules Fit Together

Biological and medical research is on the threshold of a new
era based on better understanding of how large organic molecules bind
together and recognise each other. There is great potential for
exploiting the molecular docking processes that are commonplace in all organisms to develop new drugs that act more specifically without
adverse side effects, and construct novel materials by mimicking nature.
