Microscopic robots from Cornell sense the temperature of the liquid around them, pump it with artificial cilia, and change ...

In the natural world, organisms and their environments are locked in a constant conversation. Termites build nests that alter ...

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 ...

Cornell physics researchers have made robots that for the first time can sense the temperature of their surroundings and react together to change it.

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 ...

Cornell researchers have built a microscopic robotic array that senses temperature and coordinates tiny paddles to move ...

Researchers at the University of North Carolina have created microscopic soft robots shaped like flowers that can change shape and behavior in response to their surroundings, just like living ...

Shape shifts happen all around you. Cells stretch, tissues curl, and living structures shift their form as naturally as breathing. Scientists have tried to copy those abilities for years, hoping to ...

The idea of investing in micro-robots is to have an array of devices that can go into areas that cannot be readily accessed, such as being sent down narrow pipes, or into the air, or seas, or for use ...
