ScienceOver the years, scientists have come up with all manner of new ways to deliver medication, from sophisticated dual-sided pills to drug-packed nanoparticles. Now, researchers are working on something even more sophisticated, developing tiny bead-shaped robots controlled by magnetic fields.
-
Scientists have managed to embed miniature supercapacitors within a microchip, using methods compatible with standard electronics manufacturing. The advance could allow future electronics to marry the benefits of batteries and supercapacitors on the same device.

Tumor tissue cultures grown in petri dishes make poor models of how real tumors grow, and more importantly, how they can be killed. That's why researchers have 3D printed Hela cancer cells, and created spheroids that grow and respond to drugs similar to how they do in our bodies.

A Drexel University team is studying how to extend the capabilities of UAVs by giving them robot arms and hands.
-
A novel design combining the best features from both batteries and supercapacitors could lead to a more stable, greener energy grid.
