STORY: These little green dots are microrobots. They can navigate in a cell network and stimulate individual cells in a targeted manner. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich – or TUM – ...

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 ...

A robot doesn't have to big, powerful and terrifying to be worthwhile, and many people are working on miniature machines that are just as cool. Some of these endeavors show promise in medicine, but ...

“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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Pneumonia is a common lung affliction. While a range of things can cause pneumonia, one of the most common include bacterial infections. These bacterial infections are especially common, and worrisome ...
