Rice-grain-sized robots team up to treat heart infection

Original: 🤖 NEWS: Engineers at # JohnsHopkins built two rice-grain-sized # robots that cooperate to treat infective # endocarditis

Engineers at Johns Hopkins University have developed two microscopic robots, each about the size of a grain of rice, that work together to treat infective endocarditis, a serious infection of the heart's inner lining. The miniature machines cooperate to target the infection, offering a potential minimally invasive alternative for a condition that normally requires strong antibiotics or surgery.

Why now: The breakthrough combines robotics and medicine in a striking way, showing tiny machines performing a delicate treatment inside the heart.
