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.

Micro/nanorobots hold exciting prospects for executing different tasks in complex microenvironments due to their small size, high flexibility, controllability, and environmental adaptability. However, ...

A new roadmap outlines how advances in propulsion, control, and design are positioning micro and nanorobots for use in medicine, environmental cleanup, and sensing technologies. (Nanowerk Spotlight) ...
