    • Abstract:
      A WIRELESS, origami-inspired robot could travel through the digestive system, releasing drug doses at the site they will be most effective. Qiji Ze at Stanford University in California and his colleagues have built a 7.8-millimetre robot from polypropylene film that is just 0.05 millimetres thick. [Extracted from the article]
