**Cornell Researchers Create World’s Smallest Walking Robot**

Scientists at Cornell University in Ithaca have developed the smallest walking robot ever created. This groundbreaking innovation comes from researchers at Cornell’s College of Arts and Sciences and Cornell Engineering.

The robot is designed to perform tasks at a microscopic scale. It is so small that it can interact with waves of visible light while maintaining the ability to move independently. One potential application for this tiny robot is in the field of medicine. The robot could navigate specific locations within a tissue sample to capture images or measure forces at the scale of the body’s smallest structures.

This development paves the way for new possibilities in microscopic research and technology.
