    Shape-Shifting Microparticles Navigate Themselves

    Shape-Shifting Microparticles: A Leap Toward Self-Propelled Microbots Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder are advancing a frontier in micro-robotics by creating tiny, microorganism-inspired particles that can change shape and move autonomously in response to electrical fields. These shape-shifting active particles behave like living organisms in miniature, offering a glimpse into a future where micro-scale…
