Biodegradable bubble moves away from lactic acid without a motor - a step toward artificial cells
A small biodegradable bubble has been found to move away from a chemical without any external power source. This achievement marks progress towards developing artificial cells that can behave like living ones. The movement is a complex process in living organisms.
Why it's good news: This breakthrough could potentially lead to the development of self-steering particles for targeted drug delivery.
