Abstract Scope |
World’s Smallest medical robot as the record set on Guinness World Records works on magnetoelectric mechanism in a core-shell heterostructure nanocomposite. Under influence of remotely applied modulated magnetic field, the core and shell of the nanorobot interact with each other to generate high localized electric field. The magnetic body guides and excites Nanorobot’s propel. The on demand shell’s electrification gives Nanorobot, a capability to act as an ambient electrical field sensor in bio-cellular environment and performs several remotely controlled cellular interactions such as Sensing minute electrical energy differences between different cell types, targeted single cell electroporation, usage of electrostatic force to excel Nanorobot’s propelling speed, and transport targeted cells to desired location with microscale precision in microvascular environment. The nanorobots can perform targeted drug delivery magnetically assisted enhanced drug loading on the surface and on-demand, swift drug release at targeted cancerous site. |
