…less than one centimeter. However, these researchers needed a drug-delivery robot that would break down after use. Most such robots don’t biodegrade, meaning patients must have surgical procedures for removal. The team made the robot from gelatin that contained microparticles of iron oxide. The researchers put a permanent magnet above the material, making the microparticles push outward and form structures resembling insect legs. Next, the team cooled the material to solidify it. Finally, they soaked the gelatin in ammonium sulfate to strengthen it. After these steps, the group realized they could tweak them to fine-tune the robot’s properties. The resulting…
