Nanorobotics is the development of machines or robots whose components are on the scale of the nanometre.  Theoretical discussions involving nanobots cover specific design issues such as sensing, power communication, navigation, manipulation, locomotion, and onboard computation. However, some of these hypotheses remain at the planning stage, with engineering unable to miniaturize technologies needed.  Now, a study from researchers at MIT develops electronic cell-sized robots capable … Continue reading Electronic cell-sized nanobots can sense their environment, store data.
