Scientists have found a new way to use self-propelled microbots to clean wastewater. Researchers and scientists from institutions across Germany and Spain are using graphene and microbots to clean ...

In the lab, these microrobots combined durability and safety when tested on mice. "Existing biodegradable microrobots are ...

Nanodiamond quantum sensors mounted on magnetic microbots achieve coherent spin control while moving freely through fluid, a first for untethered quantum sensing. But exploiting that sensitivity in ...

Diffractive robotics platform (A) 10×10 mm chip containing arrays of diffractive robots. (B) Close-up view of robots with varying sizes and numbers of panels. Scale bars, 50 µm. (C) False-coloured SEM ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Researchers are using a technology likened to "mini force fields" to independently control individual microrobots operating within groups, an advance aimed at using the tiny ...

Engineers across the globe are champing at the bit to make tiny robots. Once things get small, size scales blend together, but needless to say researchers are exploring everything from bots as big as ...

“All-Terrain Microbots” sounds like it should be the name of a 1980s cartoon, accompanied by its own toy line and sugary breakfast cereal. In fact, it’s a description of the tiny microscale magnetic ...

The beauty of evolution is that it’s so nonjudgmental. What began as the first organism billions of years ago has diversified into species that fly and hop and run, whatever best suits them in their ...
