Albert Einstein's general theories of relativity have been used to create tiny microscopic robots that can essentially "swim" ...

For decades, microscopic robots lived mostly in our imagination. Movies like "Fantastic Voyage" convinced us that tiny machines would one day cruise through the human body, fixing problems from the ...

Researchers from the Leiden University in The Netherlands used cutting-edge 3D printing technology to create these ...

Researchers at Leiden University have developed 3D-printed microrobots that operate without sensors or motors.

A breakthrough in medical technology could soon change how sinus infections are treated. Scientists have created micro-robots for sinus infection treatment that can enter the nasal cavity, eliminate ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Micro-robots could be used to treat infections in the sinuses, as well as the bladder, intestines, and other hard-to-reach areas ...

Bacteria-scale robots that can run for months without human control are no longer a lab fantasy. Researchers have now built fully programmable micro-machines, smaller than a grain of salt, that can ...

Leiden researchers Professor Daniela Kraft and Mengshi Wei have created microscopic robots that move without sensors, ...

In a recently published study, the Dutch team describes an unexpected behavior observed in a 3D-printed microstructure. The "robot" consists of a flexible chain of self-propelling ...

Micro-robots operate on a scale from a few microns to several millimeters. Untethered micro devices utilize magnetic fields or acoustic waves for precise propulsion. Biodegradable gels and ...
