New nano-robots made from DNA can transport a precise deadly cargo to unhealthy cells. The tiny robots bring closer the long-held nanotech dream of a fleet of small robots that can storm the body and ...

In a recent study published in Nature Communications, researchers from Inserm, CNRS and the Université de Montpellier at the Structural Biology Center in Montpellier discussed the design and ...

Scientists in Israel have created the first nano-robot antibodies designed to fight cancer. The first human trial for the new nano-robots will start soon, and it will determine just how effective the ...

When it comes to fighting the deadly brain cancer known as glioblastoma, options are very much limited. This led a Canadian research team to take a novel approach. They tricked cancer cells into ...

Researchers from the Structural Biology Center at Montpellier University in France have devised a DNA-based nano robot capable of exploring cells in the human body. This 50-nanometer robot has been ...

While creating a tiny robot entirely from DNA to observe cell processes that are not visible by the naked eye may sound like another far-fetched science fiction, scientists from Inserm, CNRS, and ...

University of Toronto Engineering researchers have built a set of magnetic 'tweezers' that can position a nano-scale bead inside a human cell in three dimensions with unprecedented precision. The nano ...

DNA is one of the most amazing molecules in nature, providing a way to carry the instructions needed to create almost any life form on Earth in a microscopic package. Now scientists are finding ways ...

Scientists have programmed DNA nano-robots to lay siege to tumors. Solid-state cancers promote new blood vessel growth to supply the ever-growing mass of cancer cells with nutrients. Researchers from ...

(Nanowerk News) Constructing a tiny robot from DNA and using it to study cell processes invisible to the naked eye... You would be forgiven for thinking it is science fiction, but it is in fact the ...
