Scientists have found a new way to use self-propelled microbots to clean wastewater. Researchers and scientists from institutions across Germany and Spain are using graphene and microbots to clean ...

Cells are squishy and soft. Tiny nanometer-sized particles such as quantum sensors cannot move freely inside them due to viscous drag, which makes sensing challenging. Researchers at the Indian ...

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 ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. STORY: These little green dots are microrobots. They can navigate in a cell network and stimulate individual cells in a targeted ...

Researchers have taken another step forward in medical micro-robotics, designing a tiny, speedy, self-propelled bot that may one day deliver medications directly where they’re needed inside the body.

The beauty of evolution is that it’s so nonjudgmental. What began as the first organism billions of years ago has diversified into species that fly and hop and run, whatever best suits them in their ...

It might sound like the beginning of a nightmare, but researchers are developing a line of small, insect-inspired robots that could one day crawl into your body and help fix broken bits. They’re ...

Various groups are currently working on tiny "robots" that could deliver medication to specific locations within the body. One of the latest such microbots, known as the MANiAC, is designed ...

The future of medicine is going to be hand-delivered — but not by mail carriers. Instead, life-saving drugs will be parceled, smuggled, and transported in the body via tiny, self-propelled microbots.

Diffractive robotics platform (A) 10×10 mm chip containing arrays of diffractive robots. (B) Close-up view of robots with varying sizes and numbers of panels. Scale bars, 50 µm. (C) False-coloured SEM ...

Tired of brushing your own teeth twice per day? Science might have a solution for you: tiny, shapeshifting microbots for your mouth. That's the focus of a new study from researchers at the University ...
