Abstract

Abstract : An FeGa@P(VDF‐TrFE) wire‐shaped magnetoelectric nanorobot is designed and fabricated to demonstrate a proof‐of‐concept integrated device, which features wireless locomotion and on‐site triggered therapeutics with a single external power source (i.e., a magnetic field). The device can be precisely steered toward a targeted location wirelessly by rotating magnetic fields and perform on‐demand magnetoelectrically assisted drug release to kill cancer cells.
