Magic Worms and the Nanospider

The Faculty of Pharmacy aims to familiarise children and parents with microparticles and nanofibres as well as their roles in the development of new drugs, which increasingly often involve innovative delivery systems. Such systems can even look like various animals.

Through the microencapsulation method, the participants, with the help of the researchers, created microparticles in a fun way, changed their colours and tried to make animal-like shapes.

They took a look at nanofibres with the naked eye and through a microscope.

They talked about the numerous potential applications of nanofibres in biomedicine and about what kind of nanospider is used in their production. They also took a closer look at this device.
