And researchers at MIT recently made a prototype for an entire mini-pharmacy: a microchip (implanted or swallowed) with as many as 1,000 tiny reservoirs--each the size of a pinprick--that can hold 25 nanoliters of anything from painkillers to antibiotics.

• 麻省理工学院的研究人员最近做出了一个全微型药房的模型：一个微型芯片(植入或吞食体内)，其上有多达一千个微型存贮库，每个有针尖大小，每一个都能存25毫微升的药，从止痛药到抗菌素应有尽有。
