Thermometric Based‐Microswimmers with Chemical and Optical Engines
Temperature sensing at small scales is typically performed using passive luminescent particles. Here, an alternative approach is demonstrated by integrating upconversion thermometry into self‐propelled microswimmers powered by chemical fuels or light. This strategy offers a step toward dynamic thermal sensing at the microscale, relevant to both lab‐on ...

Rod‐Like PLGA Microrobots with Enhanced Motion and Biodegradation for Magnetic‐Guided Drug Delivery
This study presents drug‐loaded Poly (lactic‐co‐glycolic acid) (PLGA) microrobots fabricated from an oil‐in‐water (O/W) emulsion of PLGA, Fe3O4 nanoparticles, and Adriamycin (DOX). They are formed by film‐forming and stretching microrobots, and exhibit motion analyzed via video‐snapshots, speed graphs, and shape changes, advancing targeted for drug ...
