Taking a lesson from Mother Nature's genius as a designer, a scientist will describe a whole new menagerie of packets shaped like bubbles, tubes, and disks that could be used to deliver drugs to the body more efficiently and effectively than current materials. His report, scheduled for the 241st National Meeting and Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS) in Anaheim, Calif., opens the door to developing a wide range of other materials for improved electronics, drugs, cosmetics, and other applications.
