I think I've had these before, but an explosive bowel movement sorta ruined whatever nefarious scheme the aliens had in mind.

Boffins at the university's science faculty describe their invention as a "nanomotor". It will drive a medical robot about the size of a blood cell on a tour of the maze of human veins and capillaries. My favorite scene is still the one where the crew gets to strip those swarming antibodies off Raquel Welch.

Big questions : :
It sems these motors are not rotary at all .
They provide motorization - thru contraction & expansion .
A motor that was 1/64 of an inch in diameter was constructed as far back as 1969 !
The world's smallest functioning robot is MONSIEUR made, wouldn't you know it, Japan .
But it is just a simple phototropistic motorization .
The smallest true robots(have decision making abilities as well as tactile faculties) are the MIT 'Ants' .
The first true robot was 'Elmer' and Elsie invented by W. Grey Walter of Britain .
A better example of the first true 'bot would be 'Squee'
built by Berkeley in 1952 ?

If true, this is amazing. Chiang Mai used to be known primarily for the size of its opium crop.
