In Switzerland, engineers created a nanobot capable of moving through human blood vessels. The machine can change its direction of movement, shape and size, depending on the conditions. The task of the developers was to invent a robot that can fit in capillaries.

According to Selman Sakar, the head of scientists, the principles of the Japanese kirigami, the art of making paper figures with scissors, was applied by his team so that the nanobot would achieve the flexibility needed to move even in the narrowest of blood vessels.

The machine has a special sheath, filled with polymer mesh. Instead of sensors and sensors, the developers used the effect of magnetic nanoparticles and their reaction when the fields of electricity change.

Nanobot has already passed all the necessary tests, but soon its design will undergo improvements. Another advantage of the invention is its value. The invention is relatively cheap and its purchase will be available to most people.
