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 ...

Engineers have found a way to shepherd microrobots with no wires, no radios, and no onboard computers. Instead, they steer them with light patterns designed using the same math physicists use to ...

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and University of Michigan have created the world's smallest fully programmable ...

Fernan Federici’s microscopic images of plants, bacteria, and crystals are a classic example of finding art in unexpected places. A couple years ago, Federici was working on his Ph.D. in biological ...

A series of microscopic art pieces, so small that they fit into the eye of a needle, will go on display in the UK this weekend. From Saturday until October, Wollaton Hall in the city of Nottingham, ...

Scientists just invented microscopic knives capable of stabbing and killing bacteria on contact. The germ theory of disease emerged over the last several centuries to explain the way microscopic ...

Kevin Flynn receives funding from UK funders NERC, Defra and DECC through grants NE/F003455/1, NE/H01750X/1 and NE/J021954/1. This research was conducted in collaboration with Plymouth Marine ...

A troop of a million walking robots could enable scientific exploration at a microscopic level. Researchers have developed microscopic robots before, but they weren’t able to move by themselves, says ...
