A tiny, four-fingered "hand" folded from a single piece of DNA can pick up the virus that causes COVID-19 for highly sensitive rapid detection and can even block viral particles from entering ...

An artistic rendering of the NanoGripper’s applications. Sites on the gripper’s fingers recognize the spike protein of a virus, inset, and trigger fluorescent tags to emit light. When coupled ...

Researchers have developed a human hand-inspired nanorobot made from a single strand of DNA. The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has designed this tiny, robotic hand that could capture a ...

However, in medical nanotechnology, the term nanobot or nanorobot is used to describe programmable molecules that can perform specific tasks. These nanobots are a reality and are being actively ...
