DNA Nanobots, a pioneer in self-assembling nanoscale therapeutics, today announced it has secured $3.5 million in funding from a prominent, family office. This significant investment solidifies the ...

Since the 1980s, the design and synthesis of molecular machines has been identified as a grand challenge for molecular engineering. Robots are an important type of molecular machine that automatically ...

A single-molecule DNA “navigator” that can successfully find its way out of a maze constructed on a 2D DNA origami platform might be used in artificial intelligence applications as well as in ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--DNA Nanobots, a biotechnology leader in DNA nanoparticles engineered for targeted therapeutics, announced today that Dr. John C. Byrd, M.D., has joined its scientific ...

A DNA nanorobot programmed to transport blood-coagulating proteins specifically into tumours so that their blood supply is blocked could make for a promising new cancer therapeutic. The new system, ...

Scientists are increasingly using DNA to build structures at the tiniest scales, a process sometimes called DNA origami. Because DNA can store a lot of information, structures built out of it can be ...

Researchers at Bell Labs have created the world's smallest "walking robot." The robot consists a pair of DNA legs 36 bases long and each leg is linked on top by two additional flexible strands of DNA.

Bio-inspired Quorum Sensing in robots fabricated from DNA origami can communicate by transmitting and receiving diffusing chemical signals. The mechanism has features such as programmable response ...

Drugs are commonly delivered into the body through injection or pills but these traditional methods have their drawbacks. For one, there is no way to turn off the drug once it gets into the ...

Two independent teams of research pioneers report today that they were each able to make a crude DNA nanobot, creating microscopic workers that could be chemically directed to coordinate efforts or ...

What if there was a magical robot that could cure any disease? Don’t answer that. It’s a stupid question. Everyone knows there’s no one machine that could do that. But maybe a swarm made up of tens of ...

A nanoscale robot with a clutch can engage or disengage its engine, allowing for more precise control over its motion. It could be used to kill harmful cells. Tiny clutches already exist in nature – ...
