Bacteria-scale robots that can run for months without human control are no longer a lab fantasy. Researchers have now built fully programmable micro-machines, smaller than a grain of salt, that can ...

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 ...

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 ...

(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 big picture: The future of targeted drug delivery may hinge on the development of a tiny battery capable of powering cell-sized robots. MIT researchers have created such a battery and are now ...

From power sources to fixturing tolerances, every component in a welding cell determines whether your automation investment ...

Scientists have created an army of microscopic four-legged robots too small to see with the naked eye that walk when stimulated by a laser and could be injected into the body through hypodermic ...

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 ...
