Grain-sized soft robot delivers multiple medications, guided by magnetic fields

80% Informative
Researchers at Nanyang Technological University , Singapore , have built a grain-sized soft robot that can carry multiple medications.
It's the size of a grain of rice, and can be driven to various internal targets via magnetic fields.
Once there, it can quickly or slowly release the medication it has stored in its tiny frame.
This has the potential to be a game-changing way to deliver therapeutics.
The small-scale robot can exploit its size to non-invasively access the human body via natural openings or via pinholes.
Once the device has done its job, it can be safely removed from the body by simply steering it back the way it entered.
The study was published in the journal Advanced Materials .
