Swarms of tiny 'nose robots' clear out sinuses
Many persistent sinus infections involve biofilms – colonies of bacteria that group together to resist efforts to kill them. Now, researchers have developed biofilm-blasting bots that could handily deal with these, and other, bacterial infections.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical Devices, Medical Innovations, Body & MindTags: Biofilm, Infections, Microbots, Robots, Magnetic field, Chinese University of Hong Kong, Antibacterial
Nano-robots are used in swarms to mechanically destroy bacteria that cause bacterial sinusitis.
Chinese and Hong Kong scientists successfully test micro-robot swarms capable of eradicating bacterial sinus infections in animals. Magnetically guided and light-activated, these tiny devices offer a non-invasive and drug-free solution, promising to push the treatment of localized infections and reduce the use of antibiotics.
