Robots that can think and move are no longer confined to factory floors or humanoid prototypes. Researchers have now shrunk ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Micro-robotic manipulators with the ability to move in increments far smaller than the width of a human hair might be enlisted for a range of applications in research, ...

The tiny robot, only 10 microns across, is able to navigate within a biological sample, identify different types of cells, capture them selectively, and transport them for further analysis.

A team of researchers at Tel Aviv University in Israel has come up with tiny micro-robots that can scan individual cells to tell whether they’re healthy or in trouble. These tiny cell inspectors, a ...

“Could a robot smaller than a grain of sand really hoist a load heavier than a bowling ball? In South Korea, engineers have built one that does exactly that by abandoning motors and gears in favour of ...

Medical concept in the field of nanotechnology. A nanobot studies or kills a virus. 3 d illustration. This story is part of a series on the current progression in Regenerative Medicine. This piece ...

Researchers from Tampere University in Finland and Anhui Jianzhu University in China have made a significant breakthrough in soft robotics. Their groundbreaking study introduces the first toroidal, ...

Researchers have developed a hybrid micro-robot, the size of a single biological cell (about 10 microns across), that can be controlled and navigated using two different mechanisms -- electric and ...
