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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have built DNA-based nanodevices that can identify cancer cells, latch onto them, and deliver drugs or ...

Colorectal cancer, the abnormal growth of cancerous cells in the large intestine or the rectum, is one of the most common types of cancers worldwide. Available treatments for this type of cancer ...

In the current work (Nature Communications, "A nanoscale robotic cleaner"), the team has succeeded in further miniaturizing ...

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 nanorobot is a popular term for molecules with a unique property that enables them to be programmed to carry out a specific task. In collaboration with colleagues in Italy and the USA, researchers ...

A research team from the University of Hong Kong has developed the world's first light-guided nanorobot, a submicroscopic device with the potential to travel through the bloodstream, curing sickness.

(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 ...

A new robotic device made from DNA could potentially seek out specific cell targets and deliver important molecular instructions, such as telling cancer cells to self-destruct. Inspired by the ...

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 ...

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 ...
