Biological microbots made from air bubbles were tracked as they navigated through the brains of living mice using ultrasound.
“While the mouse is under the microscope, you can see small particles moving through the blood,” says Daniel Ahmed of ETH Zurich, Switzerland.
Many people believe that when used for medical purposes, microbots, often made from simple biological compounds or tissues, are …
