Once in the territory of science fiction, 'nanobots' are closer than ever to becoming a reality, with possible applications in medicine, manufacturing, robotics and fluidics. Today, scientists report ...

Yesterday we learnt that scientists have created the first nanobot assembly line. It’s “manned” by four spider-like nanocreatures made from DNA strands, with three arms and four legs. That’s what you ...

It may look like some diagrams and a few blobs, but what you’re seeing here is nothing short of a nanotech revolution. Four nanorobots made of DNA are interacting on an “assembly line” in order to ...

Just as a postal worker knows to deliver a package to a specified address, a new type of nanoscale robot can deliver therapeutic cargo specifically to cancer cells (Science, DOI: 10.1126/sci ...

A TWO-legged molecular machine that can walk unaided along a single strand of DNA could one day shift cargo around nanofactories. That’s the promise of a walking molecular nanobot made by researchers ...

A DNA nanorobot programmed to transport blood-coagulating proteins specifically into tumours so that their blood supply is blocked could make for a promising new cancer therapeutic. The new system, ...

Envision a future where tiny robotic machines, known as nanobots, live within your body, safeguarding your health. These microscopic marvels could monitor your vitals, deliver precise therapies, and ...

For all the amazing things they do, most pharmaceutical drugs today are pretty dumb. We dump them into our bodies, they course through our blood stream, and then they do their thing. Occasionally, ...
