Corkscrew Nanobots Swim Through Blood to Deliver Drugs

Jun-24-15 Corkscrew nanobots able to swim through thick liquids like blood could be used to deliver drugs to targeted areas in the body.

Created by an international team of researchers, the “nanoswimmers” consist of three chains: two made of nanowires that attach to one made of a polymer. When exposed to an external magnetic field, the nanowires will move to propel the device and its cargo toward the chosen location—such as delivering drugs directly to the tumor.
