Magnetic microrobots carry medicine through blood and release it only where needed, while being tracked inside the body using combined light and sound imaging. (Nanowerk Spotlight) When a cancer drug ...

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 ...

Nanodiamond quantum sensors mounted on magnetic microbots achieve coherent spin control while moving freely through fluid, a first for untethered quantum sensing. But exploiting that sensitivity in ...

“All-Terrain Microbots” sounds like it should be the name of a 1980s cartoon, accompanied by its own toy line and sugary breakfast cereal. In fact, it’s a description of the tiny microscale magnetic ...

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 ...

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 ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Researchers are using a technology likened to "mini force fields" to independently control individual microrobots operating within groups, an advance aimed at using the tiny ...

Aug. 7 (UPI) --Scientists have designed a tiny robot made of microscopic cubes capable of changing shape when triggered by a magnetic field. Once initiated, the microbot can derive energy from the ...
