Nanobots are machines whose components are at the nano-scale (one millionth of a millimetre), and can be designed in such a way that they have the ability to move autonomously in fluids. Although they ...

Chemists have created nanorobots propelled by magnets that remove pollutants from water. The invention could be scaled up to provide a sustainable and affordable way of cleaning up contaminated water ...

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 ...

Spiky nanorobots powered by magnets have been developed to carry drugs and pierce tumor cell membranes, a key barrier to effective cancer treatment. By boosting drug entry, these "microscopic scalpels ...

Bladder cancer has one of the highest incidence rates in the world and ranks as the fourth most common tumour in men. Despite its relatively low mortality rate, nearly half of bladder tumours ...

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has been caused by the rapid outbreak of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly ...
