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 ...

Nanorobots hold great potential in the field of medicine. This is largely due to the possibility of highly-targeted delivery of medical payloads, an outcome that could lessen side effects and negate ...

TEMPE, Ariz. (KSAZ) - Arizona State University scientists have figured out a way to fight cancer with tiny robots. This is a major advancement for the team for ASU scientists who have been working for ...

DNA nanorobots sound like something out of the X-Files, but it isn't science fiction - the concept has already been proven. The Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard ...

Robots smaller than most bacteria could deliver drugs right to the site of a brain aneurysm, preventing a devastating stroke, a new animal study suggests. The new technology has been tested only in ...

Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed tiny ultrasound-powered robots that can swim through blood, removing harmful bacteria along with the toxins they produce. These proof ...

In case you had any doubts that we live in the future, scientists just created a medical device straight out of Star Trek or, depending on your view of autonomous DNA-splicing nanorobots, perhaps ...

Someday, treating patients with nanorobots could become standard practice to deliver medicine specifically to parts of the body affected by disease. But merely injecting drug-loaded nanoparticles ...

Engineers have developed tiny ultrasound-powered robots that can swim through blood, removing harmful bacteria along with the toxins they produce. These proof-of-concept nanorobots could one day offer ...

Researchers used nanorobots to precisely stimulate stem cells into bone cells by applying pressure to cell walls, enabling faster future treatments. Prof. Berna Özkale Edelmann’s nanorobots consist of ...
