Delivering drugs directly to cancer cells could help reduce the unpleasant side effects of chemotherapy. Now, researchers reporting in ACS Nano have made shape-morphing microrobots that can be guided with magnets to cancer cells. ACS’ Headline Science reveals how these devices travel and release their chemotherapy cargo.
