Liquid Metal Microrobots for Magnetically Guided Transvascular Navigation (Adv. Mater. 20/2026)
Liquid Metal Microrobots Liquid metal-based microrobots with magnetic actuation and intrinsic X-ray visibility enable precise navigation against physiological blood flow. Their soft, adaptive structure supports controlled transvascular transport across vascular barriers, allowing real-time image-guided positioning and targeted delivery. This platform establishes new opportunities for minimally invasive, transvascular therapeutic and diagnostic interventions.
