Researchers 3D print cell-sized, shape-shifting robots that move and navigate without a ‘brain’
These robots are smaller than a strand of human hair but can move independently even without a motor and sensors.

This has gotta be the 10th "We have invented Nano-Bots!!! (That are really just shapes controlled by a big magnet outside the body) That I have seen in the past decade or 2)
None of them are ever robots and none of them are ever Nano-Bots. Yes, they are useful advances in medicine, but every article, (and seemingly the researchers too,) love to sensationalize them to high heaven.

No one can invent nano bots, they need to be stepwise developed.
