Abstract Micro‐/nanorobots (m‐bots) have attracted significant interest due to their suitability
for applications in biomedical engineering and environmental remediation. Particularly, their …

Inspired by natural mobile microorganisms, researchers have developed micro/nanomotors
(MNMs) that can autonomously move by transducing different kinds of energies into kinetic …

Less than 1% of Earth's freshwater reserves is accessible. Industrialization, population
growth and climate change are further exacerbating clean water shortage. Current water …

Nature provides much inspiration for developing soft millirobots. However, compared with
smart and adaptations of lives in nature, these robotic systems still suffer from insufficiency of …

Current chemical-fuel-driven nanomotors are driven by gas (eg H2, O2, NH3) which only
provides motion ability, and can produce waste (eg Mg (OH) 2, Pt). Here, inspired by …

Micro-/nanomotors with advanced motion manipulation have recently received mounting
interest; however, research focusing on the motion regulation strategies is still limited, as the …

The actuation of micro/nanomachines by means of a magnetic field is a promising fuel-free
way to transport cargo in microscale dimensions. This type of movement has been …

The coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 can survive in wastewater for several days with a potential
risk of waterborne human transmission, hence posing challenges in containing the virus and …

Nanoclays, 2D layered mineral silicates, have been used for centuries and have retained a
prominent role in advancing materials science and technology. This class of materials has …

Modern micro/nanorobots can perform multiple tasks for biomedical and environmental
applications. Particularly, magnetic microrobots can be completely controlled by a rotating …
