Scientists have developed small mobile robots using human airway cells. (Source: Gizem Gumuskaya/Tufts University) Scientists made tiny living robots from human tracheal cells. These little biological robots can move and collaborate to help damaged neurons heal, and the best part is they can do it without changing any genes. These tiny bots could revolutionize how...
