It can’t be seen with a human eye. It doesn’t look anything like C-3PO or R2-D2, or even BB-8. But, nevertheless, it is a robot (all 120nm of it) and its now been deemed the Smallest Medical Robot.

Magnetic nanoparticles deliver chemotherapy to difficult-to-reach spinal tumors

Posted by Age of Robots | Aug 29, 2018 | Nanotechnology |

Researchers have demonstrated that magnetic nanoparticles can be used to ferry chemotherapy drugs into the spinal cord to treat hard-to-reach spinal tumors in an animal model. The unique delivery system represents a novel way to target chemotherapy drugs to spinal cancer cells, which are hard to reach because the drugs must cross the blood-brain barrier.
