Researchers have developed a microscopic robot capable of moving using four tiny “legs” controlled by lasers. The robots could be mass-produced, and may one day … ...

Tiny particles are opening big doors for medicine, materials science, and even environmental cleanup. Across the world, scientists are racing to understand how these microscopic swimmers behave ...

Researchers have created a million micron-scale robots that are solar powered and can be injected into people via syringe.

Tiny robots that operate within the human body have long been in the realm of science fiction, from Fantastic Voyage to The Magic School Bus. Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent ...

One day microscopic robots could be crawling through your body, clearing out disease or delivering drugs. And now we’re one step closer to that future, as scientists from Cornell University have ...

Researchers have created the first microscopic robots that incorporate semiconductor components, allowing them to be controlled - and made to walk - with standard electronic signals.

The convergence of AI agency and nanotechnology is accelerating. Lab demonstrations are becoming commercial applications, and research projects are transitioning to industrial development. We have a ...

Advancements in robots have already changed our lives in many ways. Most of the time you don’t even notice it, but automated robotic systems have added efficiency and speed to countless ...

Each smaller than the width of a human hair, the microbots have a blocky body equipped with solar cells and two pairs of platinum legs.

An army of microscopic robots developed by researchers from Cornell University might one day perform medical tasks such as delivering drugs within the human body. The microbots can be injected ...

A collaboration has created the first microscopic robots that incorporate semiconductor components, allowing them to be controlled - and made to walk - with standard electronic signals.
