The National Academy of Engineering's Frontiers of Engineering program has featured Cell Rover, a miniaturized, magnetostrictive antenna for wireless operation inside living cells developed by the Nano-Cybernetic Biotrek research group, on its homepage. Cell Rover is the first ultra-miniaturized antenna capable of operating wirelessly inside a living cell in a 3D biological system; it was also featured as an Editors’ Highlight in Nature Communications as well as featured in Nature Portfolio.
