3D printed nanorobots navigate through the eye

In a study published in Science Advances, scientists have used 3D printing to manufacture specially coated nanorobots that can be actively moved through dense tissue in the vitreous of the eye. This achievement is a major step in the direction of creating nanorobots that can deliver medicines to where they are needed in the body. The propeller-shaped nanorobots have been developed by researchers from the Micro, Nano and Molecular Systems Laboratory at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (Stuttgart, Germany) who have worked closely on the project with an international team of scientists. The nanorobots were created using a...
