Magnetic screw robot drills through brain tissue and retraces its path in lab tests

Researchers from the UT and Radboudumc person steered a tiny screw-shaped robot done existent encephalon tissue, controlled lone by a magnet extracurricular the body. The trial utilized sheep encephalon insubstantial successful the lab. The squad built a exemplary that predicts precisely erstwhile specified a robot loses control, a measurement towards treating changeable and tumors heavy successful the encephalon without unfastened surgery.
