We are delighted to share that the article “An Ultrasonic Microrobot Enabling Ultrafast Bidirectional Navigation in Confined Tubular Environments” (Meng Cui, Liyun Zhen, Xingyu Bai, Lihan Yu, Xuhao Chen, Jingquan Liu, Qingkun Liu, Bin Yang*) recently published in Nano-Micro Letters has been selected as a Research Highlight in Nature Reviews Electrical Engineering!
This innovative work introduces an ultrasonic microrobot capable of agile ultrafast (81 cm/s) and bidirectional navigation in confined pipelines. Featuring low-voltage actuation, remarkable load-carrying capacity, and integrated real-time imaging, the microrobot demonstrates great promise for inspection applications in nuclear power plants, chemical facilities, and medical devices.
This recognition not only underscores the originality of the research by the team from Shanghai Jiao Tong University but also highlights Nano-Micro Letters’ role in showcasing cutting-edge advances in nanoscience and nanoengineering.
