🚀 Massive Microbubbles → Robotic Microtools

Happy to share our latest in Nature Communications — a breakthrough in microbubble technology that create numerous bubbles as programmable, biocompatible, high-throughput micro-robots for nano- & bioassembly.

For a decade, microbubbles held promise for nanomanufacturing & biomedicine, but hit barriers in scalability, efficiency & biocompatibility. We’ve made breakthrough:

✨ Key advances:
• Low-intensity, light-controlled microbubble arrays
• Deterministic assembly of nanocrystals, exosome vesicles, living cells
• Monitoring of dynamic bacterial metabolism & drug response
🔬 Applications:
Drug & antibiotic screening | Single-cell omics | Nano/biofabrication | Soft microrobotics
