The first step has been taken towards developing a nanorobot that -- in the long run -- will enable the targeted transport of medications in the body. A nanorobot is a popular term for molecules with ...

DNA molecules have been shown to be excellent substrates for the design and construction of mechanical molecular devices that sense, actuate and exert functions when exposed to external signals 1. DNA ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) One of the most important developments in structural DNA nanotechnology – where DNA molecules are assembled into organized and programmable structures – has been the use of a ...

Could nanorobots be the next big cancer-fighting tool? Researchers from Chonnam National University in Gwangju, South Korea have created so-called "Bacteriobot," a genetically-modified non-toxic ...

South Korea claims world's first cancer-treating nanorobot (Reuters) Scientists, including one of Indian origin, have developed a nanorobot using a single DNA strand that can pick up certain molecules ...

A paper just published in Science reports the successful design, construction, and testing of a nanorobot made of DNA 1. This achievement genuinely is food for the imagination, given the wide range of ...

South Korean scientists say they have developed the world's first nanorobot that can selectively target and help treat cancer. The robot is guided through the body by genetically engineered bacteria ...

The idea of nanorobots floating throughout our arteries to fight diseases and deliver drugs is migrating from science fiction to medical fact, at least in virtual 3D simulations. Nanorobotics pioneer ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have developed nanorobots that kill cancer cells in mice. The robot’s weapon is hidden in a nanostructure and is exposed only in the tumour ...

Researchers have developed a human hand-inspired nanorobot made from a single strand of DNA. The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has designed this tiny, robotic hand that could capture a virus ...

Researchers in the US have developed a new nanorobotic device based on DNA that can deliver “cargo”, such as drugs, to individual biological cells. The technology might one day be used to treat ...

DNA-based robots promise all kinds of microscopic machinery, but there's a major obstacle: they're slow. Existing designs that use biochemical processes for movement can take hours to shuffle ...
