Korean scientists have developed magnetically controlled micro-robots as a platform for the culture and delivery of targeted stem cell therapy, which were shown to function successfully in a ...

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 ...

Researchers from Tel Aviv University, Israel, have created a micro-robot the size of a single biological cell that navigates using both electricity and magnetic fields and can identify and capture a ...

A flying micro-robot has been developed by researchers at the University of Waterloo in Ontario. A research team lead by professor Mir Behrad Khamesee manipulated magnetic fields to levitate and move ...

The micro-robots in the Penn team’s study are thin slices of magnet, about a third of a millimeter in diameter. Despite having no moving parts or sensors of their own, the researchers refer to them as ...

Scientists working at microscopic scales have relied on a single dominant fabrication technique to ...

What could be cuter than a little robot that scuttles around its playpen and smiles all day? For the 2018 Hackaday prize [bobricius] is sharing his 2D Actuator for Micro Magnetic Robot. The name is ...

It's looking more and more likely that tiny robots could one day be swimming and crawling through your body, delivering drugs or scrubbing out your arteries. But the human body is full of wildly ...

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.
