Researchers designed tiny particles that can be implanted at a cancer tumor site, where they deliver two types of therapy: heat and chemotherapy. Patients with late-stage cancer often have to endure ...

Cutting boards are handy tools found in most homes and restaurant kitchens. But a small-scale study in ACS’ Environmental Science & Technology suggests that they are an overlooked source of micrometer ...

Pesticides used to shield crops from damaging insects have the unintended effect of killing pollinators such as bees. Researchers have now made consumable microparticles that resemble pollen grains as ...

The future of immunizations could include “self-boosting” vaccines if an exciting new study from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is anything to go by. The team is developing ...

• Dual actions of a single compound with both antibiotic and immunomodulatory effects can suppress inflammation and promote tissue regeneration. • Fast-dissolving microneedle patch enables minimally ...

Most vaccines, from measles to COVID-19, require a series of multiple shots before the recipient is considered to be fully vaccinated. To make that easier to achieve, MIT researchers have developed ...

Scientists in the U.S. have developed polymer microparticles that can release vaccines at specific times after injection, sometimes even months later, potentially removing the need for multiple ...

What we throw away as food waste may hold the key to healthier crops, stronger ecosystems, and new medical compounds.

A device designed to collect microparticles from car tires as they are emitted has won the team that created it a James Dyson award. A group of masters students from Imperial College London and the ...

Cutting boards are handy tools found in most homes and restaurant kitchens. But a small-scale study suggests that they are an overlooked source of micrometer-sized particles. The researchers report ...
