At Penn Engineering, innovation starts in the lab and grows through collaboration. Working with the @MackInstitute, @Wharton, and CiPD (@PennDentalMed), engineering researchers are developing nanorobots that can detect and remove dental plaque, connecting microrobotics with design and market strategy.

“As a materials scientist focusing on microrobotics, I gained new perspectives on what it takes to translate research into real-world impact,” said @TranHongHuy, Engineering postdoc.

This work reflects Penn Engineering’s commitment to advancing early-stage technologies into health-focused solutions through interdisciplinary partnerships.

Penn engineers & clinicians at @PennDentalMed developed shapeshifting microrobots for non-invasive oral care, enhancing brushing and flossing. Their nanozyme-shells improve locomotion, with applications extending to orthopedics and gastrointestinal health. https://t.co/FvS0QW58pa

@samerps Hi Sam, I am using the ElectroMag Nodes in Blender and want render and export these animations for visual understanding in terms of schematics. However, I kept receiving errors about the camera not being found. Is there any chance you can suggest a solution?

[Hong-Huy Tran @TranHongHuy]

@DanielaJKraft @NatureComms @NWONieuws @LeidenPhysics very cool work! love the story of the paper too

[Hong-Huy Tran @TranHongHuy]

@SimoneSchuerle Congrats! I like your works a lot!

[Penn Engineering @PennEngineers]

CiPD, a partnership between Penn Engineering & @PennDentalMed, is teaming up with Wharton's @MackInstitute to explore robotics in healthcare. Read about the team testing tiny robots to clean our teeth.
