Tiny particles are opening big doors for medicine, materials science, and even environmental cleanup. Across the world, scientists are racing to understand how these microscopic swimmers behave, ...
A breakthrough in medical technology could soon change how sinus infections are treated. Scientists have created micro-robots for sinus infection treatment that can enter the nasal cavity, eliminate ...
“It all started with a challenge that had languished in the robotics community for four decades: how to create a fully ...
Scientists have created tiny disk-shaped particles that can swim on their own when hit with light, akin to microscopic robots that move through a special liquid without any external motors or ...
Chemistry often conjures images of mixing fluids together in beakers, flasks, or test tubes. But often, chemistry happens on a much smaller scale. In many medical and industrial contexts, mixing ...

World’s tiniest programmable robots, smaller than a grain of sand, can now swim, sense, and think
Robots have officially stepped into a domain that was once reserved for microbes. The United States researchers unveiled the world's smallest fully programmable, autonomous robots so small that they ...
Dynamic microscopic robots have been developed to respond to their surroundings, potentially offering a vessel for delivering medicine or cleaning up pollution. Researchers at the University of North ...
Stewart Mallory, assistant professor of chemistry and chemical engineering at Penn State, leads a research group that studies active matter, specifically the collective behavior of self-propelled ...
Picture a surgical robot that can move, cut tissue, release drugs, grip and store samples, and wirelessly generate heat. You ...
The bleeding edge: Nanomachines were once a distant fantasy of science fiction writers and video games like Deus Ex and Metal Gear Solid. However, recent advances in miniaturization have brought those ...
Artificial intelligence (AI) machine learning is enabling the convergence of multiple scientific disciplines. Synthetic microswimmers, inspired by biological microscopic organisms, are human-made ...
