DNA molecules can be used as building elements of molecular robots. So far, however, only simple functions have been achieved with such DNA robots, for instance, walking in a controlled fashion and ...

DNA robots can be programmed to explore new territories, pick up cargo, sort it into categories, and then deliver each cargo type to a defined location. Conceptual illustration of two DNA robots (2).

A tiny robot made from strands of DNA could pave the way for mini-machines that can dive into the human body to perform surgeries, among other futuristic applications. While DNA-based robots have been ...

The field of nanotechnology is still in its nascent stages, but recent innovations are increasingly making this science fiction world of tiny robots into a reality. New breakthrough research from a ...

While its feet may wander aimlessly, its hand won’t pick up just anything. Neither will it release its finds willy nilly. “It” is a molecular robot, a single-stranded DNA with one leg and two foot ...
