Remote control Schematic showing (top panel) how microfibrebots can anchor to a blood vessel, navigate via helical propulsion, elongate to pass through narrow regions and aggregate to block blood flow ...

Microscopic robots have been created by researchers at North Carolina State University and Duke University. By converting magnetic energy from their environment into movement, the devices can capture ...

In the world of biomechanics and medicine, there are challenges in the designing microrobots that are effective in drug administration. Properly managing factors such as biocompatibility, size, ...

In a world's first, a team at the City University of Hong Kong has developed a magnetic 3D-printed microscopic robot that can carry cells to precise locations in human bodies in vivo. The size of the ...

Microscopic robots that move by tumbling end-over-end are well suited for navigating inside the body Engineers at Purdue University have devised this highly unusual mode of locomotion for ...

These tiny robots take a cue from ant colonies to cooperatively build. Some do the glue work, and some assemble scaffolding that could make for stronger 3D printing. Someday armies of microscopic bots ...

Berlin, Jun 30 (PTI) Scientists have developed magnetic microbots with silver nanoparticles that can zoom around contaminated water and clean up disease-causing bacteria. Drinking water contaminated ...

Tiny robots that can transport individual neurons and connect them to form active neural circuits could help us study brain disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease. The robots, which were developed by ...
