A man has used only his thoughts to release a drug from a nanorobot into a cockroach. But this isn’t some bizarre study into mind-control, this new way of delivering drugs into the body could be used ...

(Nanowerk News) A team of researchers led by Dr Jinyao Tang of the Department of Chemistry, the University of Hong Kong, has developed the world's first light-seeking synthetic Nano robot. With size ...

One of the most exciting new developments comes from France – MiGriBot (Miniaturized Gripper Robot) is the name of a tiny robot that can perform high-precision tasks really fast. Robots giving a ...

The idea of using nanorobots to deliver drugs and fight diseases such as cancers is not new (check this story for example). But there are still lots of issues to solve before nanorobots can diagnose ...

A nanorobot made from DNA has a flap that opens with a mechanical arm (yellow) in response to a target (red).--Courtesy of U. of Udine "DNA origami," the act of molding DNA into three-dimensional ...

DNA-based robots promise all kinds of microscopic machinery, but there's a major obstacle: they're slow. Existing designs that use biochemical processes for movement can take hours to shuffle ...

Researchers have developed a pH-responsive nanorobot system that changes confirmation in the tumor microenvironment to selectively kill cancer cells in mice. Researchers at the Karolinska Institutet ...

This is the first ever nanorobot to combine two functions: cancer diagnostics and treatment. Made of DNA fragments, the nano-sized robot detects a pathogenic RNA strand in a gene and destroys it so ...

The Office of Naval Research is supporting development of a nanofabrication process that will make possible ultrasmall sensors. How do you build an infrared (IR) camera that is small enough to fit on ...

NanoRobot-6AX represents a quantum leap in positioning evolution. The system combines a state-of-the-art XYZ 100 mm travel-range nanopositioning platform, together with DTI’s advanced robotic system, ...

A team of researchers led by Dr Jinyao Tang of the Department of Chemistry, the University of Hong Kong, has developed the world's first light-seeking synthetic Nano robot. With size comparable to a ...

A team of researchers has developed the world's first light-seeking synthetic nanorobot. With size comparable to a blood cell, those tiny robots have the potential to be injected into patients' bodies ...
