We develop different Systems ranging from active nanoparticles (nanobots) to 3D Bioprinted Actuators. We are interested in fundamental studies of active matter, the use of nanobots for future nanomedicine, and the bioengineering of new devices based on hybrid systems.Our group employs urease-powered nanobots as an innovative approach to treating bladder cancer. We have demonstrated that these...
Several concepts have been pursued by different research groups worldwide to realize untethered propulsion on a small size scale. Potential geometries for such untethered devices range from tubular microjets, Janus particles, or rods, over bio-inspired artificial flagella, to helical micromotors. Physical micromotors and microrobots for example are based on external physical fields such as...
