A Tiny Power Plant You Could Swallow to Fight Cancer

Human beings benefit from more than four billion years of evolution in bio-energy. But come on. We can do better than that. So a group of researchers at Carnegie Mellon University are at work on a tiny battery made of our own chemicals they could put in a pill you’d swallow – a micro power plant that could deliver controlled-release therapies to fight disease with previously impossible precision and safety. Conventional time-release capsules deliver medicines in the form of small molecules. The more complex the agent, the more power and…
