• November 2019

Ga mee op reis naar de microwereld met robotici Paul McEuen en Marc Miskin. Zij leggen uit hoe ze micro-robots ter grootte van een enkele cel ontwerpen en massaproduceren. Deze robots worden aangedreven door atomisch dunne beentjes. Ze laten zien hoe deze machines op een dag 'bestuurd' kunnen worden om ziekten in gewassen tegen te gaan of je hersenen te bestuderen op het niveau van individuele neuronen.
