The method works by using small bubbles similar to soap bubbles: they workqua
To create new vaccines, researchers scan thousands of related molecules to find the best combination.The new technology makes it possible to do this at the nanoscale, so the amount of materials and resources used is reduced.
According to the authors, more than 40,000 molecules can be synthesized and analyzed in an area smaller than the head of a pin.
The volumes of material we use are very small. It's like comparing a liter of water with all the water that exists on Earth. It greatly saves effort, labor and energy.
