Wireless magnetic millirobots deliver drugs inside the beating heart
Original: Wireless magnetic millirobots that deliver medicine inside the beating heart
Researchers at Johns Hopkins University have developed tiny wireless magnetic millirobots that can navigate inside a beating heart to deliver medicine directly to targeted tissue. The devices are steered externally using magnetic fields, removing the need for invasive catheters or wired tools. The work is drawing attention as a potential step toward minimally invasive cardiac treatment, with observers discussing how soon such technology could move from lab demos to clinical use.
Why now: A newly announced medical robotics breakthrough at Johns Hopkins offers a striking glimpse of minimally invasive cardiac therapy.
