Harnessing the power of sound waves for advances in drug delivery – Health Europa
Pioneering new research is harnessing the power of sound waves to deliver drugs – demonstrating how high frequency sound could revolutionise the field of ultrasound-driven…
Researchers at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia, have revealed how high-frequency sound waves can be used to deliver drugs to the lungs for painless, needle-free vaccinations, as well as using them to build new materials and make smart nanoparticles.
Sound waves have been part of science and medicine for decades, for example, ultrasound was first used for clinical imaging in 1942 and for driving chemical reactions in the 1980s. However, technologies have always relied on low frequencies.
