Article Synopsis
- Microscale organisms and motile cells use spring-like structures to sense and move, inspiring the design of artificial micromachines for manipulating single cells.
- The research focuses on creating a nanoscale magnetic spring system that can respond to extremely small forces (as tiny as 0.5 pN) and can be programmed for different tasks.
- The development of these 'picospring' systems allows for the construction of soft microrobots capable of gentle interactions with biological cells, combining sensing and movement functionalities for advanced applications in biomedical fields.

Existing electronically integrated catheters rely on the manual assembly of separate components to integrate sensing and actuation capabilities. This strongly impedes their miniaturization and further integration. Here, we report an electronically integrated self-assembled microcatheter.

Novel robotic, bioelectronic, and diagnostic systems require a variety of compact and high-performance sensors. Among them, compact three-dimensional (3D) vector angular encoders are required to determine spatial position and orientation in a 3D environment. However, fabrication of 3D vector sensors is a challenging task associated with time-consuming and expensive, sequential processing needed for the orientation of individual sensor elements in 3D space.
