> For their part, the researchers have already experimented with producing both hard and soft particles, made of ceramics and of hydrogels. The first could see applications in microelectronics manufacturing and the latter in drug delivery in the body. “There’s a wide array of applications, and we’re just beginning to explore them,” said Maria Dulay, senior research scientist in the DeSimone lab and co-author of the paper. Traduction of the last sentence: either mean "we don't know the applications it can have" or it's honest and there is many applications coming soon that can't be discussed publicly for some industrial reason.
