Bacteria-scale robots that can run for months without human control are no longer a lab fantasy. Researchers have now built ...

Robots the size of a single-celled organism can now sense their environment, make decisions, and act on them without any outside help. Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and University of ...

The robots, each the size of a single cell, casually turn circles in a bath of water. Suddenly, their sensors detect a change: Parts of the bath are heating up. The microrobots halt their twirls and ...

(Nanowerk News) A tiny battery designed by MIT engineers could enable the deployment of cell-sized, autonomous robots for drug delivery within in the human body, as well as other applications such as ...

The zinc-air batteries, which can generate up to a volt, are as thin as a human hair. A battery designed by MIT chemical engineer Michael Strano and colleagues could make it possible for cell-size ...

A tiny battery designed by MIT engineers could enable the deployment of cell-sized, autonomous robots for drug delivery within in the human body, as well as other applications such as locating leaks ...

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and University of Michigan have created the world's smallest fully programmable ...

Researchers develop salt-sized autonomous robots that can swim, sense temperature, and think independently, opening new ...

Humans may soon be able to interact with tiny robots small enough to fit in the bloodstream because of advancements in technology, according to ongoing research at Cornell. Prof. Paul McEuen, physics, ...

It’s a bizarre sight: With a short burst of light, a sponge-shaped robot scoots across a tiled surface. Flipped on its back, it repeatedly twitches as if doing sit-ups. By tinkering with the light’s ...
