Minuscule Robots for Targeted Drug Delivery
In the future, delivering therapeutic drugs exactly where they are needed within the body could be the task of miniature robots. Not little metal humanoid or even bio-mimicking robots; think instead of tiny bubble-like spheres. Such robots would have a long and challenging list of requirements. For example, they would need to survive in bodily fluids, such as stomach acids, and be controllable, so they could be directed precisely to targeted sites.

Not so simple machines: Cracking the code for materials that can learn
Study: Training all-mechanical neural networks for task learning through in situ backpropagation (DOI:10.1038/s41467-024-54849-z) It's easy to think that machine learning is a completely digital phenomenon, made possible by computers and algorithms that can mimic brain-like behaviors. But the first machines were analog and now, a small but growing body of research is showing that mechanical systems are capable of learning, too.

MIT chemical engineers have devised a way to capture methane, a potent greenhouse gas, and convert it into polymers. Although it is less abundant than carbon dioxide, methane gas contributes disproportionately to global warming because it traps more heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide, due to its molecular structure.
