Over the past decades, a growing number of robotics teams have started developing modular robots inspired by the ancient ...

They proposed viewing each junction as a component that could be modified with “locks, time delaying units, signaling units, ...

Bio-inspired Quorum Sensing in robots fabricated from DNA origami can communicate by transmitting and receiving diffusing chemical signals. The mechanism has features such as programmable response ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--DNA Nanobots, a biotechnology leader in DNA nanoparticles engineered for targeted therapeutics, announced today that Dr. John C. Byrd, M.D., has joined its scientific ...

A nanoscale robot with a clutch can engage or disengage its engine, allowing for more precise control over its motion. It could be used to kill harmful cells. Tiny clutches already exist in nature – ...

What if there was a magical robot that could cure any disease? Don’t answer that. It’s a stupid question. Everyone knows there’s no one machine that could do that. But maybe a swarm made up of tens of ...

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 ...

Can a robot fight cancer? Yes, but it needs to be really, really tiny, which is why Hao Yan and researchers at ASU and China’s National Center for Nanoscience and Technology are building nanobots that ...
