hile free-swimming microrobots have been explored as a way to precisely deliver therapeutics within a blood vessel, they can disperse in the strong flows, failing to reach their target at high enough concentrations. In contrast, microrobots propelled along an artificial microtubule, developed by physicist Arnold Mathijssen and colleagues, can be transported precisely, even working against the current.

Using a 3D printer, Penn Engineering researchers are able to precisely control the alignment of glass fibers embedded within this stretchy silicone. The stripes represent regions with different fiber alignment patterns, and thus different levels of resistance to the tear making its way across the sample. (Image: Penn Engineering Today)
