  Antifungal efficacy of Microrobots: Small robotics, specifically mobile robots with characteristic dimensions less than 1 mm, are known as microbotics or microrobots. A microrobot is a tiny robot designed to carry out particular tasks. A microrobot is typically somewhat bigger than a nanorobot, which is made at the nanoscale. While some nanobots are not instantly apparent to the human eye, microrobots are typically visible ( Margaret Rouse ).  Current treatments (such as nanoparticles) can have a variety of negative effects and function slowly and ineffectively. In addition, the problem of growing drug resistance diseases in the field of antifungal therapy.  Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania, Hyun (Michel) Koo and Edward Steager, joined forces with their teams in an initiative to use microrobots to target microbial coatings on soft surfaces. In an email to ASN, Koo stated, "Our study has developed a new strategy using tiny robotic particles called nanozyme microbots

 NASA Posts Amazing Picture Of Space-Grown Flower NASA shared a picture of the zinnia plant, cultivated on the International Space Station  in 2015 . The goal was to find out how plants would grow in space.  According to a NASA report; Scientists have been studying plants in space since the 1970s, but this particular experiment was started on the  @ISS  in 2015 by NASA astronaut Kjell Lindgren. Kjell Lindgren, a NASA astronaut, initiated the experiment to observe how vegetation would grow in space since it would benefit humanity. During their lengthy space missions, the astronauts can eat a lot of food from this. Area for plant cultivation decreasing as the population increases day by day so there is a need to discover new spaces where the life of humans and plants could be possible.  Reference:  https://www.instagram.com/p/CtZxuGjSorR/?utm_source=ig_embed&ig_rid=b52ed06e-d24b-4db1-a0cf-2c004df423e1
