Micro/nanorobots have progressed from science fiction to real-world applications in biomedicine, environmental remediation, and sensing. UA faculty member, Dr. Amir Nourhani is among 103 researchers ...

The idea of nanorobots floating throughout our arteries to fight diseases and deliver drugs is migrating from science fiction to medical fact, at least in virtual 3D simulations. Nanorobotics pioneer ...

DNA molecules have been shown to be excellent substrates for the design and construction of mechanical molecular devices that sense, actuate and exert functions when exposed to external signals 1. DNA ...

The first step has been taken towards developing a nanorobot that -- in the long run -- will enable the targeted transport of medications in the body. A nanorobot is a popular term for molecules with ...

Could nanorobots be the next big cancer-fighting tool? Researchers from Chonnam National University in Gwangju, South Korea have created so-called "Bacteriobot," a genetically-modified non-toxic ...

One of the most exciting new developments comes from France – MiGriBot (Miniaturized Gripper Robot) is the name of a tiny robot that can perform high-precision tasks really fast. Robots giving a ...

A research team from the University of Hong Kong has developed the world's first light-guided nanorobot, a submicroscopic device with the potential to travel through the bloodstream, curing sickness.

(Nanowerk Spotlight) One of the most important developments in structural DNA nanotechnology – where DNA molecules are assembled into organized and programmable structures – has been the use of a ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have developed nanorobots that kill cancer cells in mice. The robot’s weapon is hidden in a nanostructure and is exposed only in the tumour ...

A team of researchers has developed the world's first light-seeking synthetic nanorobot. With size comparable to a blood cell, those tiny robots have the potential to be injected into patients' bodies ...

DNA-based robots promise all kinds of microscopic machinery, but there's a major obstacle: they're slow. Existing designs that use biochemical processes for movement can take hours to shuffle ...
