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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers from prestigious institutions in New York and Ningbo, China, have unveiled a remarkable development: self-replicating nanorobots made entirely of DNA (via Phys.org). These tiny but potent ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have developed an ingenious approach to cancer treatment using nanorobots inspired by the ancient art of origami. These nanorobots, outlined in a study ...

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 ...
