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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

(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 ...

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 ...

This image shows how two microbots can be independently controlled when operating within a group, an advance aimed at using the tiny machines for applications such as advanced manufacturing and ...

Tiny algae-based robots guided by magnets could improve bladder cancer treatment by boosting delivery of chemotherapy drugs into tumors, researchers say.

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 lack of clean water in many areas around the world is a persistent, major public health problem. One day, tiny robots could help address this issue by zooming around contaminated water and ...
