Source: China – South China Morning PostScientists in China and the US have harnessed the energy released by collapsing bubbles to create a robot launching system which could be used for targeted drug delivery or exploring hard-to-reach spaces.
The method works by rapidly heating light-absorbing materials with a laser, causing water droplets on the surface around the material to boil, triggering the formation of vapour bubbles.
Once these bubbles grow to a certain point, they suddenly collapse – rapidly releasing energy and creating a…Read More
