Scientists have built microscopic, light-powered robots that can think, swim, and operate independently at the scale of ...

Researchers have created microscopic robots so small they’re barely visible, yet smart enough to sense, decide, and move completely on their own. Powered by light and equipped with tiny computers, the ...

Despite their size, the robots can navigate liquids, respond to their environment and operate without external control.

A team of researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Michigan has reportedly developed what they suggest is the world’s smallest fully programmable, autonomous robots.

Robots have officially stepped into a domain that was once reserved for microbes. The United States researchers unveiled the world's smallest fully programmable, autonomous robots so small that they ...

Scientists have created robots smaller than a grain of salt that can sense their surroundings, make decisions, and move ...

Shape shifts happen all around you. Cells stretch, tissues curl, and living structures shift their form as naturally as breathing. Scientists have tried to copy those abilities for years, hoping to ...

Dynamic microscopic robots have been developed to respond to their surroundings, potentially offering a vessel for delivering medicine or cleaning up pollution. Researchers at the University of North ...

A breakthrough in medical technology could soon change how sinus infections are treated. Scientists have created micro-robots for sinus infection treatment that can enter the nasal cavity, eliminate ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...
