An international team of researchers has developed a method for altering one class of antibiotics, using microscopic organisms that produce these compounds naturally. The findings, published July 25 in Nature Chemistry, could lead to more efficient production of antibiotics that are effective against drug-resistant bacteria.

We are hopeful and passionate about pushing the boundaries of this research for the miniaturization of medical microrobots for future applications in clinics. Our ultimate aim is to overcome the challenges, which remain plenty. For example, we must develop strategies to navigate and control these microrobots inside the host body with high precision, taking body...
