A new study shows how tiny robotic vessels powered by acoustic waves and an on-board bubble motor can be maneuvered through cellular landscapes using magnets. A new study from the... Read more
Mobile motor could pave the way for robots to assemble complex structures — including other robots. Years ago, MIT Professor Neil Gershenfeld had an audacious thought. Struck by th... Read more
Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed tiny ultrasound-powered robots that can swim through blood, removing harmful bacteria along with the toxins they... Read more
Nanocars will compete for the first time ever during an international molecule-car race on April 28-29, 2017 in Toulouse (south-western France). The vehicles, which consist of a fe... Read more
A team of researchers led by Dr Jinyao Tang of the Department of Chemistry, the University of Hong Kong, has developed the world’s first light-seeking synthetic Nano robot. With si... Read more
For the past few years, scientists around the world have been studying ways to use miniature robots to better treat a variety of diseases. The robots are designed to enter the huma... Read more
Micro and nanorobots that attack tumours with maximum precision using drugs: this is what the fight against cancer may look like in the future. A group of ETH researchers led by Sa... Read more
Ciliates can do amazing things: Being so tiny, the water in which they live is like thick honey to these microorganisms. In spite of this, however, they are able to self-propel thr... Read more
Someday, treating patients with nanorobots could become standard practice to deliver medicine specifically to parts of the body affected by disease But merely injecting drug-loaded... Read more
