Engineers have developed a new soft magnetic hydrogel that can be 3D-printed into microscopic structures.

The next generation of soft robots might be folding and sliding as effortlessly as living tissue, say a team of engineers who have created “magnetic muscles” with 3D printing. Filling elastic, ...

In an experiment reminiscent of the "Transformers" movie franchise, engineers at Princeton University have created a type of material that can expand, assume new shapes, move and follow ...

The treatment of gastrointestinal and urinary system diseases has long been plagued by limitations of traditional drug delivery methods, such as low drug concentration at target sites, lack of ...

Scientists from University of Macau designed a novel multi-section magnetic soft robot maneuvered by an associated collaborative multirobot navigation system. A research paper by scientists at the ...

Infertility affects an estimated 186 million people worldwide, with fallopian tube obstruction contributing to 11%-67% of female infertility cases. Researchers have developed an innovative solution ...

Scientists have developed a single-cell green microalgae coated with magnetic material. This miniature robot was put to the test: would the microalgae with its magnetic coating be able to swim through ...

A new 3-D printing technique can create paper-thin "magnetic muscles," which can be applied to origami structures to make them move. By infusing rubber-like elastomers with materials called ...
