Scientists Use Smart Materials in Micro-Robotic Swarms to Provide New Treatment Options for Gastrointestinal Diseases

Recently, researchers from Shanghai University and The Chinese University of Hong Kong (Shenzhen) collaborated to develop a novel type of magneto-thermal hydrogel swarms. Through magnetic-thermal cooperative regulation, the hydrogel swarms can remotely heat magnetic particles using a magnetic field; when magnetic heating is required, they switch to a high-frequency oscillating magnetic field, causing the material … Read more

Introducing a 9 cm, 25 g Micro Wireless Amphibious Robot!
