“A team at the University of Basel has developed a versatile nanorobot with propulsion and payload modules. The two reusable modules autonomously self-assemble and could be used in medicine or industry. The nanorobot, which the team describes in the journal Advanced Functional Materials, resembles a lunar rocket with multiple modules. A magnetic propulsion module moves the nanorobot, while a second module serves as a payload capsule, safely transporting therapeutic agents or enzymes to their target location.” wrote Angelika Jacobs.
