Researchers at IIT Roorkee have fabricated life-like microscopic hydrogel agents capable of self-organization at an oil-water interface, powered by internal enzymatic reactions. These active microgels exhibit remarkable behaviour reminiscent of living systems, including chemical fuel dependence, autonomous assembly, and microscale cargo manipulation.

The breakthrough paves the way for future soft, bio-inspired autonomous microbots that could play transformative roles in environmental remediation, chemical sensing, and targeted drug delivery.

The study, led by PhD Research Scholar Mr. Pankaj S. Patwal under the supervision of Prof. Pavan Kumar Bosukonda, has been published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS).

Strengthening India’s bio-innovation ecosystem, this work advances next-generation intelligent materials that can sense, adapt, and respond to their surroundings, aligning with SDG 9 and SDG 12 and national priorities in emerging technologies.
