Liquid Metal Microrobots for Magnetically Guided Transvascular Navigation. [PDF]
Adv MaterLiquid metal‐based microrobots combine magnetic steering, intrinsic X‐ray visibility and softness, to navigate blood vessels even against flow. Under clinically relevant magnetic fields, liquid metal microrobots roll along vessel walls, cross endothelial barriers, and accumulate in target tissues.
