Researchers introduces the first toroidal, light-driven micro-robot that can move autonomously in viscous liquids, such as mucus. This innovation marks a major step forward in developing micro-robots ...
Nature has devised ingenious methods for micro-organisms to navigate their viscous environments: for example, E. coli bacteria employ corkscrew motions, cilia move in coordinated waves, and flagella ...
Moving through the world as a microorganism isn’t always easy. Bacteria and other small creatures squirming inside bodies often have to propel themselves through thick, viscous environments. For a ...
For a human, this would look like someone awkwardly trying to swim their way through a pool ... University have created a new doughnut-shaped micro-robot capable of autonomously navigating its ...
