As part of its IntelligentEngine vision , Rolls Royce demonstrated plans for both a robotic snake and swarm of cockroach-like miniature robots that, in theory, will work together to inspect the interior of aircraft engines without removing the entire engine.…
Nanomachines may be tiny – 50,000 of them would fit across the diameter of a human hair – but they have the potential to pack a mighty punch in the fight against cancer. Researchers at Durham University in the UK…
Injured tissues can be repaired and damaged organs healed using a new nanotech device that adapts a patient’s own skin to generate stem cells, according to a paper published in the journal Nature Nanotechnology. Raed more in cosmos magazine Nano-chip…
A new technique called CRISPR allows scientists to actually edit DNA sequences so that they can, for example, disable key genes in an HIV virus, deactivate others gone awry in an autoimmune disease like Multiple Sclerosis or reprogram yeast DNA…
Tiny machines that roam our bodies, delivering drugs and killing tumors: It sounds like science fiction, but someday—depending on how long it takes devices such as the three seen here to reach the market—it’ll be just plain science. learn more…
An international team of scientists has made a breakthrough in the magnetic manipulation of nanoparticles that could lead to a big boost for small scale digital storage in portable devices. The research, led by scientists from the Universitat Autònoma…
