Scientists at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden announced in a paper on Monday that they have developed nanorobots which kill cancer cells using a specialized trigger. The technology, first tested in ...

The shape and morphology of a cell play a key role in the biological function. This corresponds to the principle of "form follows function," which is common in modern fields of design and architecture ...

Researchers engineered magnetic nanorobots that carry anticancer drugs and penetrate tumor cell membranes, improving chemotherapy effectiveness. (Nanowerk News) Spiky nanorobots powered by magnets ...

Scientists at the University of Stuttgart have succeeded in controlling the structure and function of biological membranes with the help of "DNA origami". The system they developed may facilitate the ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have developed an ingenious approach to cancer treatment using nanorobots inspired by the ancient art of origami. These nanorobots, outlined in a study ...

A new roadmap outlines how advances in propulsion, control, and design are positioning micro and nanorobots for use in medicine, environmental cleanup, and sensing technologies. (Nanowerk Spotlight) ...

A recent review published in the journal SmartBot says these DNA nanorobots could one day be capable of delivering drugs to specific locations in the body, capturing viruses like SARS-CoV-2, and even ...

The material-interface-structure-function/performance coupled design method and the additive/formative/subtractive composite manufacturing method provide new ...

Highly anticipated: Brain surgery is a frightening prospect, so any development that limits or even eliminates your time on the operating table is a game changer. Scientists have now figured out a way ...

Micro- and nanorobots are nano- or micro-scale synthetic or biological structures (particles, cells, etc.), designed to perform preprogrammed tasks through mechanical actuation such as magnetic, ...
