Researchers have developed a technique whereby they can spontaneously encapsulate microscopic droplets of water and oil emulsion in a tiny sphere made of salt crystals - sort of like a minute, self-constructing origami soccer ball filled with liquid. The process could be used in a range of fields from more precise drug delivery to nanoscale medical devices.

In order for medicines to be effective, researchers need precise information about the surface molecules of viruses or bacteria, for example. Often, the motion of the atoms of these molecules is neglected while developing medicines. But this can have consequences for its effectiveness. A team of researchers is working on software that incorporates such motions.
