Microbot Motors Fit To Swim Human Arteries, ScienceDaily Bookmark and Share

Excerpts: A range of complex surgical operations necessary to treat stroke victims, confront hardened arteries or address blockages in the bloodstream are about to be made safer as researchers (...) put the final touches to the design of micro-motors small enough to be injected into the human bloodstream. A research paper, (...) details how researchers are harnessing piezoelectricity, the energy force most commonly used to trigger-start a gas stove, to produce microbot motors just 250 micrometres, a quarter of a millimetre, wide.
