Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed magnetic microrobots capable of delivering drugs to precise locations inside the body. Their study, “Clinically Ready Magnetic Microrobots for Targeted Therapies,” describes a system where gelatin capsules embedded with magnetic nanoparticles are guided through blood vessels using external electromagnetic fields. Doctors can track the microrobots in real time via X-ray imaging. Once the capsule reaches its target, a high-frequency magnetic field heats…
