injectable microcapsules.
Johns Hopkins researchers have developed a sugar - based
molecular microcapsule that eliminates the toxicity of an anticancer agent developed a decade ago at Johns Hopkins, called 3 - bromopyruvate, or 3BrPA, in studies of mice with implants of human pancreatic cancer tissue.
The team, led by scientists from Harvard University and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, employed a microfluidic assembly technique to
produce microcapsules that contain liquid sorbents, or absorbing materials, encased in highly permeable polymer shells.
This illustration shows the flow - focusing microfluidic capillary device used to produce the
silicone microcapsules.
They subsequently co-encapsulated the cells with magnetic iron oxide in immunoprotective

After image occurrence on such display and electric field is switching off, the
necessary microcapsules remain painted.
Above microcapsules are situated top transporant electrodes which are attached to the top protecting plate of the screen.
«They told us that putting black and white oppositely charged particles inside a
single microcapsule just couldn't be done,» Comiskey wrote.
E-ink pixels are made of a bunch of capsules, and inside each are a bunch of tiny

E Ink Technology is based on the principal of tiny
microcapsules measuring approximately the diameter of the human hair.
When I began working on the project, I didn't have the know - how to charge the particles, disperse them properly or form an
aqueous microcapsule, so we did seek assistance from experts in the fields of chemical engineering and material science.
We needed to
form microcapsules, coat them down into an individual layer, and then — most importantly — create a closed system involving dozens of different organic materials that would remain stable over years of exposure to high electric fields and the extremes of temperature and humidity.
This was essentially a reintroduction of the well - known electrophoretic display technology, but
