為了解決這個問題,科學家們開發了許多藥物遞送系統,其中最引人注目的就是自乳化藥物遞送系統(Self-Emulsifying Drug Delivery Systems,簡稱 SEDDS),也被稱作吸收提升科技。這項科技的核心概念是利用遞送系統中的油脂、界面活性劑和輔助界面活性劑,讓藥物與營養補充品一進到腸道,就形成微細的乳糜微粒,從而提高藥物的吸收率。
我們時常會形容一部電影是歡樂的、或者驚悚懸疑的,光是坐在電影院裡頭就能感受到影片的氣氛。但最近有科學家發現,對於某些電影來說「氣氛」並不是只有字面上的抽象意義。在德國的麥因茲(Mainz),馬克思.普朗克化學研究所(Max Planck Institute for Chemistry)和約翰.古騰堡大學(Johannes Gutenberg University)的科學家分析了電影院裡的空氣,發現不同的電影在放映時分別會在空氣中留有一些獨特的特徵。
