With its irregularities and anatomical complexities, the root canal system is one of the most clinically challenging spaces in the oral cavity. As a result, biofilm not fully cleared from the nooks ...

Biofilms—structured communities of microorganisms that create a protective matrix shielding them from external threats, including antibiotics—are responsible for about 80% of human infections and ...

Cilia are micrometer-sized biological structures that occur frequently in nature. Their characteristic high-frequency, three-dimensional beating motions (5–40 Hz) play indispensable roles inside the ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Robotic micromanipulation, which involves robots handling tiny objects, has long been limited by the challenges of integrating rotational joints at microscopic scales. The ability ...

Magnetic microrobotics encompasses the design and deployment of micro- to nanoscale devices that are steered and powered by external magnetic fields for diagnostic, therapeutic and theranostic ...

(Nanowerk News) The concept of microrobots has evolved significantly since physicist Richard Feynman first envisioned the potential of tiny machines in the 1950s. The early prototypes of microrobots, ...

Featuring micro-scale sizes, microrobots demand exacting precision and handling throughout manufacturing. Plasma treatment increases the ability to wet the surface, improving adhesion between crucial ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Micro-robotic manipulators with the ability to move in increments far smaller than the width of a human hair might be enlisted for a range of applications in research, ...

The Nature Index tracks primary research articles from 145 natural-science and health-science journals, chosen by an independent group of researchers. The Nature Index provides absolute Count of ...

Imagine a natural disaster scenario, such as an earthquake, that inflicts widespread damage to buildings and structures, critical utilities and infrastructure, and threatens human safety. Having the ...

Bionaut Labs, a company that makes micro-robotics used in the treatment of central nervous system diseases, has raised $43 million in series B financing. Bionaut’s robots work to deliver drugs at deep ...

Cancer treatment and other delicate medical procedures could one day be carried out using tiny microrobots guided precisely inside the body after scientists developed a new magnetic tool to control ...
