Description
Ze Wang and co-authors built tiny self-moving robots to treat a hard breast cancer, in this 2026 study. Triple-negative breast cancer resists many drugs, and carrier particles often fail to reach deep tumor tissue or lose their power inside cells. Their robots use two drives at once: light-driven heat drift and oxygen push from a fuel reaction.
The robots mimic two enzymes, one that clears a stress chemical and one that burns sugar. Sugar loss weakens the tumor's heat shields, so light heat therapy hits harder, and heat in turn boosts the catalytic work. Tumor growth was curbed by 97 percent in tests. The robots also glow, which helps locate lesions.
