Surgical procedures could soon be helped along with tiny robots, according to researchers. Miniaturisation of motors has not kept pace with that of electronics, leaving such tiny robots with no means to get around in the body. Now, research reported in the Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering has demonstrated a motor about twice the size of a human hair. The motors could be used to power mini robots to fly around inside the body. (source: news.bbc.co.uk)
