New rice-sized microrobot could slip into brain to treat inoperable tumors
SMRTR summary
A French startup has developed a rice-sized microrobot for minimally invasive brain surgery. The device can navigate curved paths through brain tissue to access hard-to-reach tumors, moving at 3 mm/min using rotating silicone rings and guided by real-time imaging. Clinical trials are set for 2026, with potential to transform treatment of inoperable brain tumors.
