Goodbye toothbrush, we will clean your teeth with shape-shifting microbots
A robotic micro-swarm of iron oxide nanoparticles has excellently replaced a toothbrush in cleaning plaque from teeth.

Magnetically guided microrobots of different shapes are able to take, store and distribute drugs in the first in vitro tests.
The University of Colorado reveals nanocrystals that transform light into mechanical force, promising revolutions in robotics and vehicles.
The project could change the global agricultural sector forever, but microrobots still have two big challenges ahead.
A platoon of "algae" microbots eliminates pneumonia directly where it nests: the results are exceptional. Towards human testing.
A completely new approach allows RoBeetle, a nature-inspired microbot, to walk for over two hours without any kind of electric battery and no cables.
The artificial muscles developed by the Linköping University team are made of polymeric material into which enzymes have been introduced: a solution of oxygen and glucose in water powers the actuators, just as happens in human muscles.
