Researchers develop magnetic soft robot for targeted drug delivery in the body
1 reports · 1 sources
Researchers have developed a miniature magnetically controlled soft robot that can be guided by an external magnetic field to specific locations within the body, where it leaves behind a small adhesive patch for precise drug delivery; the remaining portion can continue moving to the next target and repeat the placement. This technology could make targeted drug delivery more precise, but it is still at the research stage.
