SWA team at ETH Zurich has developed a tiny microrobot capable of delivering medication directly to where it’s needed. The robot could, for example, target and dissolve a clot during a stroke.
✨ Why is this revolutionary?
• The microrobot is guided by a magnetic field through the blood vessels.
• It releases the drug only when it reaches its target.
• Result: more precise treatments with fewer side effects.
Tested in realistic vessel models and in animals, the system successfully reached its target in more than 95% of cases, a promising step toward new minimally invasive therapies. 🧪
