Researchers develop controlled delivery of particles via fluid flow
(PHYSorg.com Chemistry)

Capitalizing on previous studies in self-powered chemo-mechanical movement, researchers at the University of Pittsburgh`s Swanson School of Engineering and Penn State University`s Department of Chemistry have developed a novel method of transporting particles that utilizes chemical reactions to drive fluid flow within microfluidic devices. Their research, `Harnessing catalytic pumps for directional delivery of microparticles in microchambers,` was published today in the journal Nature Communications.
