Engineers at Johns Hopkins University have built two robots the size of rice grains that can cooperate to treat infective endocarditis, an infection of the heart's inner lining. The microrobots work together to perform the treatment, a development being shared widely in science and medicine circles as a striking example of how tiny machines could one day deliver therapies inside the body.
Why now: The breakthrough combines miniature robotics with treatment of a serious heart infection, making it a remarkable medical technology story.
