Researchers from the University of Waterloo in Canada have developed a tiny magnetically steerable “robot” that can dissolve ...

University of Waterloo researchers have created soft magnetic robots designed to dissolve kidney stones in the urinary tract.

Waterloo researchers have developed a minimally invasive treatment to ease kidney stone pain with magnets and robots.

This raises the pH level of the liquid, making it less acidic. The change in pH causes the stone to dissolve, allowing it to be passed with urine more easily and with less pain. The filament itself ...

Flexible actuator design lets the insect-sized bots navigate effectively in complex environments with improved movement ...
