The idea of using nanorobots to deliver drugs and fight diseases such as cancers is not new (check this story for example). But there are still lots of issues to solve before nanorobots can diagnose ...

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 ...

A tiny fleet of gold nanorobots is teaching stem cells how to become bone. At the same time, another lab is using gentle pulses of pressure to coax single cells into building mineral and collagen.

TEMPE, Ariz. (KSAZ) - Arizona State University scientists have figured out a way to fight cancer with tiny robots. This is a major advancement for the team for ASU scientists who have been working for ...

Nanorobots hold great potential in the field of medicine. This is largely due to the possibility of highly-targeted delivery of medical payloads, an outcome that could lessen side effects and negate ...

A research team led by Professor Daniel Ahmed at the ETH Zurich has developed nanorobots that may prove to be invaluable to the development of therapeutics for cancer and blood clots. In studies, the ...

Robots smaller than most bacteria could deliver drugs right to the site of a brain aneurysm, preventing a devastating stroke, a new animal study suggests. The new technology has been tested only in ...

Engineers have developed tiny ultrasound-powered robots that can swim through blood, removing harmful bacteria along with the toxins they produce. These proof-of-concept nanorobots could one day offer ...

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, ...
