According to a report by New Scientist, scientists have developed a strange magnetic ‘robot slime’ that can be remotely controlled via a magnetic field. But don’t be fooled by its looks: This slime is quite different from the slimes we know.

It is stated that this very strange ‘robot’, similar to Venom, the beloved character of the Marvel universe, could be used to navigate narrow passages in the human body and even play a role in removing accidentally swallowed objects from the body. The video of the robot slime reveals how strange this new invention, which looks as if it belongs to another world, is.

Venom comes true

Developed by researchers from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, powerful neodymium magnets are combined with borax, a widely used detergent, in the construction of this unique robot. mixed. Thanks to a silicone compound surrounding the robot, it was ensured that the slime did not have toxic effects for the human body. Additionally, the researchers note that the magnetic adhesive can be made into a number of different shapes.

In one of the tests on the robot, the research team successfully removed the battery inside a stomach model. This means that, if further developed, the robot could be used in far more important medical operations.

Li Zhang from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, author of an article published in the journal Advanced Functional Materials on the robot, told New Scientist how this interesting ‘robot’ can be used. it looks like a liquid.” “Then you can roll it like an octopus arm to carry something.” he adds. However, Zhang hopes that in the future the slime can be run autonomously.
