Polymer stomatocytes are bowl-shaped structures of nanosize dimensions formed by the controlled deformation of polymer vesicles. The stable nanocavity and strict control of the opening are ideal for ...

Autonomous targeting and release of drugs at their site of action are desired features of nanomedical systems. Now, scientists have designed a nanomotor that has these functions: An antitumor drug ...

Polymer vesicles have been constructed that entrap platinum nanoparticles in their outer surface. These serve to break down a fuel of hydrogen peroxide, generating water and oxygen and in turn ...
