Microscopic robots built by nanoengineers at the University of California San Diego are engineered to swim throughout the lungs, transport medication, and be employed to resolve serious cases of bacterial pneumonia.
UC San Diego engineers have developed microscopic robots, called microrobots, that can swim around in the lungs, deliver medication and be used to clear up life-threatening cases of bacterial pneumonia. In mice, the microrobots safely eliminated pneumonia-causing bacteria in the lungs and resulted in 100% survival.
