Engineers have developed a new soft magnetic hydrogel that can be 3D-printed into microscopic structures.

During trials, the 3D-printed “lollipop” structures were magnetized to assorted levels. When a simple refrigerator magnet was ...

Infertility affects an estimated 186 million people worldwide, with fallopian tube obstruction contributing to 11%-67% of female infertility cases. Researchers have developed an innovative solution ...

Researchers from MIT, EPFL, and the University of Cincinnati have developed a 3D-printed soft magnetic hydrogel enabling microscopic robots to move and deform independently under magnetic control. The ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

Cancer treatment and other delicate medical procedures could one day be carried out using tiny microrobots guided precisely ...

Fabricated with a gel side for carrying drugs and a magnetic side for steering, these microrobots can navigate complex biological environments like intestines. Microrobots formed in droplets could ...
