Nanoengineers at the University of California, San Diego used an innovative 3-D printing technology they developed to manufacture multipurpose fish-shaped microrobots -- called microfish -- that swim ...

Scientists are forever keen to get tiny robots working inside our bodies, despite pop culture warning us against the idea. Researchers from UC San Diego have joined the fray with a new idea: ...

A UCSD professor said his team has developed a micro-fish, the size of a human hair. Professor Shao Chen Chen said the micro-robots are 3D-printed and can carry drugs, once injected into a patient.

Tiny 3D-printed robotic fish smaller than the width of a human hair may one day deliver drugs to specific places in our bodies and sense and remove toxins, thanks to research at the University of ...

If we can't shrink down to microscopic sizes and steer a tiny ship through the bloodstream Fantastic Voyage-style, microscopic fish-shaped robots steered by magnets may be the next best thing. An ...

With increasing temperatures, microscopic fish remains (called ichthyoliths) undergo significant color alterations and therefore may be useful in determining the paleotemperature histories of ...

Analysis of the skeletal remains of a Mesolithic man found in a cave on a Croatian island has revealed microscopic fish and plant remains in the dental plaque of a tooth -- a first-time discovery for ...

Can you believe these tiny glands make such a beautiful flower? These minuscule pieces of salt look like massive boulders up close. Pay attention to those tiny crystals on the rim of your next ...

A research team has found new evidence that fish rapidly evolved in two phases following the Cretaceous-Paleogene (K/Pg) mass extinction that occurred 66 million years ago. The team, which included ...
