Microrobots Operating in Blood Vessels

There is an old Chinese saying that “all medicine is three parts poison.” Common drug delivery methods resemble indiscriminate rainfall; once the drug enters the body, it spreads throughout with the blood circulation. While it can act on the lesions, it inevitably affects healthy tissues as well. This “inflicting a thousand injuries to oneself while … Read more

Advancements in Magnetic Microrobots for Cancer Treatment: Performing Specific Tasks Independently

The limbs of the LEGO figure in the image can move independently because the magnetic screws connecting its limbs are in a specially designed layered magnetic field. On February 23, Beijing time, foreign media reported that a recent study suggests that magnetically controlled microrobots may one day help us combat cancer. Over the past decade, … Read more

3-Millimeter Diameter Micro Magnetic-Controlled Robot Simulates Surgeons' Dexterous Movements

Introduction Related research paper published in the recent issue of “Science Robotics”. In traditional brain surgeries, doctors often need to remove a portion of the skull to access hard-to-reach areas of the brain or tumors. This surgical method is highly invasive, carries significant risks, and results in long recovery times for patients. However, a new … Read more
