Like blowing bubbles, making persistent micelles could soon be child's play thanks to researchers in Germany. Their new technique for producing these hollow nanoscopic spheres could revolutionise model studies of cell membranes and other systems. Their work might also lead to novel nano-scale reaction vessels, new catalysts, sensor components, and biocompatible drug-delivery capsules.
