Blood clots can spell trouble wherever they occur, but those that form in the brain can be especially dangerous when they give rise to outcomes like aneurysms and strokes. Mechanical engineers at MIT ...

MIT engineers have developed a magnetically steerable, thread-like robot that can actively glide through narrow, winding pathways, such as the labrynthine vasculature of the brain. In the future, this ...

Engineers have designed a hydrogel-coated magnetic steerable thread-like robot capable of gliding through narrow pathways such as the labrynthine vasculature of the brain. The study combines work on ...

MIT engineers have developed a thin, magnetically controlled soft robotics device coated in a slippery skin to pass through tight pathways. A tiny worm-like robot capable of gliding through narrow, ...

MIT has invented a new robotic thread that is small enough to travel through the blood vessels inside the human brain. The robotic thread is controlled using magnets to actively guide it through the ...

MIT engineers created a thread-like robot that can glide through the brain's blood vessels and could deliver clot-reducing drugs to treat strokes or aneurysms. The robotic thread could offer an ...

Newly developed magnetically controlled, thread-like robot to treat stroke patients can clear blood vessel blockages and deliver drugs directly to the brain, reveals a new study. Newly developed ...

A tiny worm-like robot capable of gliding through narrow, winding pathways such as those found in the brain has been developed by scientists. The robotic thread can be steered remotely using magnetic ...
