Wireless piezoelectric microrobots are biomedical devices with a potential use in high-precision minimally invasive therapies.
Microrobots and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been identified as promising carriers for drug delivery applications. While clinical applications of microrobots are limited by their low loading efficiencies the poor degradability materials used fabrication, MOFs lack motility targeted capabilities.

Magnetic fields have been regarded as an additional stimulus for electro- and photocatalytic reactions, but not a direct trigger catalytic processes. Multiferroic/magnetoelectric materials, whose electrical polarization surface charges can be magnetically altered, are especially suitable triggering control of reactions solely with magnetic fields. Here, it is demonstrated that employed independent input energy source hydrogen harvesting by means the magnetoelectric effect. Composite...
