A new agglutinate, reprogrammable, and disintegrable magnetic spray has been developed to transform inanimate objects into millirobots with high adaptivity for various biomedical applications. The spray can be repurposed by adjusting its magnetization direction, allowing the creation of diverse locomotion modes.
