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 ...

Engineers at the University of Colorado­—Boulder have designed a new type of “microbot,” which has to potential to revolutionized treatment for various health conditions, including interstitial ...

本文介绍了一种创新的病毒功能化磁性微机器人（virus@microbots）平台，该平台巧妙结合了噬菌体（phage）的生物靶向性和微机器人（microbots）的磁驱动力，通过机械破坏与生物裂解的双重作用（dual-action）协同高效清除金黄色葡萄球菌（S. aureus）生物膜（biofilm ...

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 ...

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 ...

“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 ...

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 ...

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 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.

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 ...

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 ...

Robotics researchers often turn to the Japanese paper folding art of origami for inspiration, and with some very impressive results. Scientists working in the field at the University of Michigan have ...
