Achieving efficient and uniform intracellular delivery of biomolecules is vital in biological research, with broad implications for biomedicine. Here, we demonstrate a method using a titanium micro-ring (TMR) device activated by infrared (IR) light pulses for such delivery across diverse cell types.
