Engineers have developed a new soft magnetic hydrogel that can be 3D-printed into microscopic structures.

During trials, the 3D-printed “lollipop” structures were magnetized to assorted levels. When a simple refrigerator magnet was ...

A breakthrough in medical technology could soon change how sinus infections are treated. Scientists have created micro-robots for sinus infection treatment that can enter the nasal cavity, eliminate ...

Researchers introduces the first toroidal, light-driven micro-robot that can move autonomously in viscous liquids, such as mucus. This innovation marks a major step forward in developing micro-robots ...

Micro-robots operate on a scale from a few microns to several millimeters. Untethered micro devices utilize magnetic fields or acoustic waves for precise propulsion. Biodegradable gels and ...

Listen to the audio edition here: Inside a lab in the University of Pennsylvania’s Levine Hall are robots so tiny they can balance on a single ridge on a human fingerprint. At 200 by 300 by 50 ...

Biomedical, bio-inspired, and micro robotics focuses on robotic systems that are closely aligned with biological systems. This includes both robotic systems that are human body-mounted and augment ...

In a nutshell: Researchers have developed minuscule robots that can "assemble" and behave like a collective, building new shapes and tools. Inspired by nature, the team identified and developed the ...
