Magnetic millirobots could deliver drugs inside the beating heart

Original: Wireless magnetic millirobots that deliver medicine inside the beating heart

Researchers at Johns Hopkins University have developed wireless magnetic millirobots small enough to operate inside a beating heart, where they can deliver medication directly to targeted tissue. Controlled externally by magnetic fields, the tiny devices could allow precise cardiac treatment without invasive surgery. The work is drawing attention as a striking example of robotics moving into some of the most delicate areas of the human body.

Why now: New research showing tiny robots working inside a living heart is a remarkable medical robotics advance
