A recent study published in Nature Nanotechnology describes how urea-powered nanorobots helped a research team shrink the growth of bladder tumors in mice by 90%. Transmission electron microscopy ...

Scientists have succeeded in controlling the structure and function of biological membranes with the help of 'DNA origami'. The system they developed may facilitate the transportation of large ...

Samuel Sánchez, ICREA Research Professor at the Institute of Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC), will lead the OrthoBots project, which focuses on the treatment of joint diseases using nanorobots.

Researchers engineered magnetic nanorobots that carry anticancer drugs and penetrate tumor cell membranes, improving chemotherapy effectiveness. (Nanowerk News) Spiky nanorobots powered by magnets ...

A new class of autonomous nanorobots built from reconfigurable DNA origami arrays has been developed by researchers from Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, Emory University, and the Georgia ...

From repairing deadly brain bleeds to tackling tumors with precise chemotherapy, micro/nano-robots (MNRs) are a promising, up-and-coming tool that have the power to substantially advance health care.

Inspired by how a car uses an engine and a steering wheel to reach its destination, the nanorobot integrates two enzymatic functions. Urease works for propulsion by harnessing endogenous urea in ...

Researchers used nanorobots to precisely stimulate stem cells into bone cells by applying pressure to cell walls, enabling faster future treatments. Prof. Berna Özkale Edelmann’s nanorobots consist of ...

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, ...
