A hierarchical asymmetric magnetic mesoporous hollow nanorobot was constructed in a sequential interfacial super-assembly strategy. This with responsiveness, confined catalytic degradation, durable motion and recyclability not only sets platform for manipulating behavior, but also provides promising tool future applications. More information can be found the Research Article by B. Kong co-worke...

In remote magnetic navigation, a navigation system is used to generate fields apply mechanical wrenches steer object. This technique can be applied navigate untethered micro- and nanorobots, as well tethered surgical tools for minimally invasive medicine. The design characterization of these systems have been extensively investigated over the past decade. determination region in space which ope...

Protein-polymer conjugates are of particular interest for nanobiotechnology applications because of the various and complementary roles that each component may play in composite hybrid-materials. This chapter focuses on the design principles and applications of self-assembling protein-polymer conjugate materials. We address the general design methodology, from both synthetic and genetic perspec...

Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in the world and is difficult to accurately identify and treat. Diagnostic computational tools can be used effectively, with high degree of accuracy, to recognize and differentiate between the two known types of breast lesion, namely benign and malignant. These modelling tools include artificial intelligence techniques such as Artificial Neural Net...

With the development of nanotechnology, micro/nanorobots (MNRs) have become promising medical tools given their advantages unconstrained and precisely controlled navigation. However, complexity MNRs’ dynamic biological environments limitations current experimental methods, it remains challenging to simulate motion mechanism, functional implementation strategy, adaptability MNRs in environments....

We show that DNA-based self-assembly can serve as a general and flexible tool to construct artificial flagella of several micrometers in length and only tens of nanometers in diameter. By attaching the DNA flagella to biocompatible magnetic microparticles, we provide a proof of concept demonstration of hybrid structures that, when rotated in an external magnetic field, propel by means of a flag...

Miniaturization is a key step in the design of integrated circuits. Intelligent systems working on the microand nanometer scale, i. e. "nanorobots", would be of great value in this miniaturization phase. They would help optimizing the design and production process by acquiring local sample information and they even might work as nanotools to fix tiny imperfections. To create such a nanorobot we...

The well-defined geometry, exceptional mechanical properties, and extraordinary electrical characteristics of carbon nanotubes qualify them for structuring nanoelectronic circuits, nanoelectromechanical systems, and nanorobotic systems. Relative displacements between the atomically smooth, nested shells in multiwalled carbon nanotubes can be used as robust nanoscale motion enabling mechanisms f...

Micromachined thermal multimorph actuators for out-of-plane displacements have been designed and fabricated by Multi-Users MEMS Process (MUMPs) with a post-processing bulk etching step. Micromachined actuators have potential applications in micromanipulation and nanoposition such as manipulation of scanning tunneling microscope (STM) tips, nanopositioner for nano-assembly, micro/nanorobots and ...
