Imagine if scientists could grab virus particles the same way we pick up a tennis ball or a clementine, and prevent them from infecting cells. Well, scientists in Illinois have built a microscopic ...

A nanoscale robotic hand with four bendable fingers can grasp objects like gold nanoparticles or viruses. Xing Wang at the University of Illinois and his colleagues constructed the nanohand using a ...

Researchers have developed a human hand-inspired nanorobot made from a single strand of DNA. The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has designed this tiny, robotic hand that could capture a virus ...
