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 shape and morphology of a cell play a key role in the biological function. This corresponds to the principle of "form follows function," which is common in modern fields of design and architecture ...

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.

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 ...

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

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 ...

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.

A tiny fleet of gold nanorobots is teaching stem cells how to become bone. At the same time, another lab is using gentle pulses of pressure to coax single cells into building mineral and collagen.
