The newly developed tiny robot is powered by a special synthetic material called liquid crystalline elastomer.

A collaboration between Tampere University and Anhui Jianzhu University has led to the creation of a toroidal micro-robot ...

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 ...

Mucus, the gel-like ... hair-like projections called cilia. But what happens when the body produces too much mucus that is too thick, viscous and dehydrated to move and clear properly?

For the past couple of years I have been troubled by what I have been told is catarrh. My nose seems permanently blocked as ...

coli bacteria employ corkscrew motions, cilia move in coordinated waves ... be used for drug transportation through physiological mucus and unblocking blood vessels after the miniaturisation ...

Mucus, the gel-like ... hair-like projections called cilia. But what happens when the body produces too much mucus that is too thick, viscous and dehydrated to move and clear properly?

These cilia move in a coordinated manner to sweep away mucus and trapped particles. When irritants or excess mucus accumulate ...

Mucus is invaluable ... It is then wafted to the back of the nose by the rhythmical movement of billions of hair like cilia before draining into the throat where, mixing with the salivary ...

These entities, born from death, exhibit unexpected abilities. Xenobots, created in the lab, move using cilia, which in frogs are typically used for mucus. They display entirely new and unpredictable ...
