Bringing science to life through spectacular images.
Controlling artificial cilia with magnets and light
Researchers create an artificial array of magnetic cilia that could contribute to advancing the capabilities of soft robotics.
Screw cancer: Microneedle sticks it to cancer tissue
Scientists are finding safer ways to keep drug-loaded microrobots attached to cancer tissue.
Liquid-Metal-Driven Micromachines for the Next Cutting-edge Technology
Is the T-1000 no longer science fiction?
Robots Powered by Glucose
Soft robotic devices powered by glucose are paving the way for artificial muscles.
Rotibot: A Biohybrid Microrobot for Water Decontamination
The Rotibot decontaminates water using functionalized microbeads (yellow) accumulated around the rotifer mouth (blue).
Magnetized Microalgae Could be the Future of Medicine
Scientists develop magnetized microalgae microswimmers using terbium.
Gene Therapy: Virus-like Delivery System Takes the Heat out of Melanoma
Targeted viral-based gene therapies come with their own risks. A new gene delivery system mimics viral therapies to infect cancer cells with vesicular stomatitis virus matrix protein, with a similar transfection efficiency as the virus itself.
