Researchers at Monash University are working on a motor smaller than the width of four human hairs.
The “Proteus motor” will be small enough to be injected into the bloodstream, swim inside arteries and organs and perform risky surgical procedures. These miniature robots will be controlled by remote control and ultimately assist humans to save lives.
This basic idea was the basis of the movie “Fantastic Voyage” in the 1966, we are in an exciting age where science is catching up to science fiction!
