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 lab of Tho... 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 the fact tha... 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 produce. T... 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 few hundred... 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 size compara... 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 human body, wh... 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 Salvador Pan... 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 through water... 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 nanoparti... Read more
Magnetic nanoparticles can open the blood-brain barrier and deliver molecules directly to the brain, say researchers from the University of Montreal, Polytechnique Montréal, and CHU Sainte-J... Read more
The very first self-propelled, nanoparticle delivering nanobots ever Researchers working at the University of California, San Diego have claimed a world first in proving that artificial, mic... Read more
Micro- and nano-swimmers can be propelled through media similar to bodily fluids Micro- or even nano-robots could someday perform medical tasks in the human body. Researchers from the Max Pl... Read more
