The rapidly developing field of contrast-enhanced ultrasound relies on the detection of gas-filled, encapsulated microbubbles that produce a unique signature in an acoustic field. These microbubbles ...

Researchers have investigated how microbubbles tiny gas bubbles can deliver drugs into cells in a targeted manner using ultrasound. For the first time, they have visualized how tiny cyclic microjets ...

Lately we've seen an exciting string of research projects demonstrate how ultrasound can be harnessed to fight cancer, whether that be by helping drugs cross the blood-brain barrier, heating and ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed artificial muscles that contain microbubbles and can be controlled with ultrasound. In the future, these muscles could be deployed in technical and medical ...

London: The ultrasound contrast agents (microbubbles) market is driven by their role in enhancing diagnostic capabilities and revolutionising treatment methods. The demand for microbubbles will stem ...

For example, by combining the microbubbles with an antibody probe engineered to seek out biomarkers associated with cancer, doctors could target and then destroy tumors deep inside the body or detect ...

ETH Zurich researchers show how under ultrasound, microbubbles gas-filled bubbles generate liquid jets that penetrate cell membrane like tiny pinpricks. The dynamics of jets is governed by a ...
