Researchers at the University of Basel developed a modular nanorobot that combines magnetic propulsion, load capsules and a DNA-based binding system. In laboratory tests, the system reduced the viability of HeLa cells to 16% in 72 hours, although their use in humans still represents a long-term goal. *** The nanorobot measures 150 times less than the diameter of a human hair and can adapt to different tasks. Its capsule can transport therapeutic…
