Our bodies are constantly breaking down. Over time, their built-in repair mechanisms also fail. Knee cartilage grinds away. Hip joints no longer support weight. Treatments for breast cancer and other ...

In an innovative fusion of biology and nanotechnology, scientists at the University of North Carolina (UNC) have developed microscopic soft robots that mimic the adaptive behavior of living organisms.

A brand-new engineering approach to generate "designer" biological robots using human lung cells is underway in Carnegie Mellon University's Ren lab. Referred to as AggreBots, these microscale living ...
