MIT engineers develop 3D-printed micro-robots that can be controlled by magnets
Engineers have developed a new soft magnetic hydrogel that can be 3D-printed into microscopic structures.
During trials, the 3D-printed “lollipop” structures were magnetized to assorted levels. When a simple refrigerator magnet was ...
Researchers' new fabrication technique can produce soft, microscopic structures with magnetically activated moving parts.
Scientists have created hydrogel-based artificial cilia that move almost exactly like real biological cilia - the closest imitation achieved so far. The researchers can program each micrometer-sized ...
A 3D-printed gel that bends, grips, and changes shape with magnets could help build robots and medical tools for drug ...
Under a microscope, a bouquet of lollipop-like structures, each smaller than a grain of sand, waves gently in a petri dish of ...
