An international team of scientists, some from the “Micro, Nano and Molecular Systems” Lab at the Max-Planck-Instritute for Intelligent Systems in Stuttgart, developed specially coated nano-robots that can be magnetically moved through dense tissue like the vitreous of the eye. This has never been achieved before! So far, the transport of these so called nano-vehicles has only been demonstrated in model systems or biological fluids, but not in real tissue. The work was published in the journal Science Advances and constitutes one step further towards nano-robots becoming minimally-invasive tools for precisely delivering medicine to where it is needed.
