COLUMBUS, Ohio - Someday, scientists believe, tiny DNA-based robots and other nanodevices will deliver medicine inside our bodies, detect the presence of deadly pathogens, and help manufacture ...

Imagine a more advanced Roomba cleaning robot that is capable of not just vacuuming things, but instead picks up objects and puts them away for you. Now imagine if that robot was almost impossibly ...

In the future, swarms of robots could be called in to build impressive structures or clean up dangerous messes too small to be seen with the naked eye. Just ask researchers at Caltech, who have ...

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.

Two spiders are walking along a track – a seemingly ordinary scene, but these are no ordinary spiders. They are molecular robots and they, like the tracks they stride over, are fashioned from DNA. One ...

To implement a collision-based computer using DNA objects, we used DNA origami nanorobots as described previously 19 (Supplementary Note 1). These robots are controlled by a gate that opens in ...
