Microplastics are a growing environmental problem, but now researchers in Korea have developed a new water purification system that can filter out these tiny fragments, as well as other pollutants, very quickly and with high efficiency.

Researchers have developed microbots made of stem cells that can be delivered through the nose into the brain. These “Cellbots,” which bypass the blood-brain barrier, could one day be used to treat brain cancers and neurodegenerative diseases.

Scientists have made a breakthrough that overcomes a technical issue that has held back highly promising lithium-metal battery architecture, which could pave the way for batteries with as much as 10 times the capacity of today's devices.

Tiny robots could one day deliver drugs inside our bodies, but there are still a few hurdles. Now researchers have developed corkscrew microrobots that drill into cancer while they deliver drugs, preventing them being washed away by fluids.

The latest electronic skin to cross our desk is promises greater flexibility and a more compact form than earlier solutions, by making use of an innovative spider web-patterned coil system that enables it to be bent in any direction.
