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 ...

Tiny algae-based robots guided by magnets could improve bladder cancer treatment by boosting delivery of chemotherapy drugs ...

In mouse tests, magnet-guided algae microbots helped chemotherapy penetrate bladder tumours more deeply, cutting tumour ...

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 ...

(Phys.org)—A new study shows that a swarm of hundreds of thousands of tiny microbots, each smaller than the width of a human hair, can be deployed into industrial wastewater to absorb and remove toxic ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The NPCbots were also trialed on mice with severed spinal cords. Following almost 28 days, the nerve cells in mice reconnected at the injury site. The mice exhibited ‘increasingly normal movement ...
