Scientists turn tiny algae-powered robots into Olympic athletes with magnet control
The scientists discovered that adding a magnetic coating to green algae micro-swimmers had minimal impact on their swimming ability. The algae — using a breast-stroke motion with their flagella — ...
Magnetically guided microrobots coated with bacteriophages penetrate and dismantle bacterial biofilms, achieving targeted removal of microbial contamination through coordinated mechanical disruption ...
(Nanowerk News) For decades, researchers have sought to emulate the collective behavior of natural systems like schools of fish or flocks of birds using synthetic microscale robots. Such robot ...
