Nanobots Keep Wounds Clean

Researchers have developed tiny robots that swim around wounds to deliver bacteria-killing drugs.

Papercut

A recent WIRED article discussed a chemist at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia in Barcelona who has been working on developing medical nanobots for over a decade. The tiny spherical silica particles are outfitted with proteins that propel them through the body’s viscous fluids to deliver medications such as cancer drugs or antibiotics. His lab’s latest research, published last month, used experimental antibiotics to treat infected wounds on mice. They administered nanobots to one side of a wound and observed them traveling around it, clearing the infection as they go.
