Described as an exoskeleton, or a cage, the support structure surrounds the central solenoid, which is a 60-foot-tall ...

Magnetized algae micro swimmers retain speed and maneuverability, showing promise for targeted drug delivery in confined ...

The Max Planck Institute team created a magnetic-coated microalgal swimmer, demonstrating effective navigation in viscous ...

Discover how Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems is advancing microalgae robots for medical applications.

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 ...

The scientists discovered that adding a magnetic coating to green algae micro-swimmers had minimal impact on their swimming ability. The algae — using a breast-stroke motion with their flagella — ...

While Nasa’s budgetary struggle continues, the red planet may be a step closer for China after it unveiled a powerful new ...

Recent findings reveal phosphorene nanoribbons exhibit intrinsic magnetic and semiconducting properties, paving the way for ...

Scientists have long suspected that phosphorene nanoribbons (PNRs)—thin pieces of black phosphorus, only a few nanometers ...
