Snail-Like Robot Crawls Through Gut to Deliver Cancer Drugs Directly to Tumors
Scientists are building a tiny snail-like robot that can crawl through the human gut to help fight cancer.
The robot moves like a snail using slow, wave-like motion and a sticky surface, so it can travel safely inside the digestive system.
The goal is to deliver cancer drugs directly to tumors in the bowel, instead of affecting the whole body like chemotherapy.
Doctors can guide the robot using magnetic fields, which could make treatment more precise and reduce side effects.
Hackers Linked to Iran Breach Kash Patel’s Personal Email and Leak Private Data

Officials said the leaked information appears real but mostly includes older personal data, not classified government information.
The case shows that even top U.S. officials can be targeted by cyberattacks and raises concerns about personal security risks.
