Morphing microrobots change shape according to environment

Researchers in Switzerland have developed a new breed of microrobots that alter their shape automatically to navigate different environments, with potential for medical applications. Inspired by bacteria, the tiny robots are made from hydrogel composites and contain magnetic nanoparticles that would allow them to be directed from outside the human body. While this method of […]
