Magnetic microrobots carry medicine through blood and release it only where needed, while being tracked inside the body using combined light and sound imaging. (Nanowerk Spotlight) When a cancer drug ...

Cells are squishy and soft. Tiny nanometer-sized particles such as quantum sensors cannot move freely inside them due to viscous drag, which makes sensing challenging. Researchers at the Indian ...

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 ...

Remote control Schematic showing (top panel) how microfibrebots can anchor to a blood vessel, navigate via helical propulsion, elongate to pass through narrow regions and aggregate to block blood flow ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

Researchers at Manchester University are developing tiny snail-inspired robots to precisely deliver cancer drugs ...
