Tiny particles are opening big doors for medicine, materials science, and even environmental cleanup. Across the world, scientists are racing to understand how these microscopic swimmers behave, ...

A breakthrough in medical technology could soon change how sinus infections are treated. Scientists have created micro-robots for sinus infection treatment that can enter the nasal cavity, eliminate ...

Robots have officially stepped into a domain that was once reserved for microbes. The United States researchers unveiled the world's smallest fully programmable, autonomous robots so small that they ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Bacterial eye infections blind millions globally each year, and current antibiotics increasingly fail to stop them. When bacteria develop resistance to drugs, they can withstand ...

Stewart Mallory, assistant professor of chemistry and chemical engineering at Penn State, leads a research group that studies active matter, specifically the collective behavior of self-propelled ...

Tiny robots—around 50 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair—open up fascinating possibilities: they enable the controlled manipulation of objects far too small for human hands. This brings ...

Chemistry often conjures images of mixing fluids together in beakers, flasks, or test tubes. But often, chemistry happens on a much smaller scale. In many medical and industrial contexts, mixing ...

Dynamic microscopic robots have been developed to respond to their surroundings, potentially offering a vessel for delivering medicine or cleaning up pollution. Researchers at the University of North ...
