Scientists Create Microscopic Algae Robots With Incredible Swimming Abilities

Magnetized algae micro swimmers retain speed and maneuverability, showing promise for targeted drug delivery in confined biological environments. A team of researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (MPI-IS) in Stuttgart has developed a biohybrid microswimmer coated with magnetic material, whose swimming ability remains largely unaffected by the coating. The team from the [...]
