First nanomotors created

Researchers at Berkeley at the University of California created the world’s smallest electrical device earlier this year - one hundred million of which could fit on the end of a pin.

powered by static electricity, quite a big step towards nanobots becoming a reality

Pretty cool stuff !

Wow, incredible…

Reminds me of that manga, GUNM :slight_smile: Did anybody get to read it?

What can I say… :!: :!: :!: :!:

Micromachines, I miss those lil things. =)

rofl eg, “think big, play small”

thats awesome - nano

ooh–ooh I graduated from UC Berkeley. Bout time someone else does something cool that did not come from the UK or M.I.T.

go Bears

hey phil (sorry to thread jack) how would you spell words like “offer” “ophpher”? always wanted to ask you that.

Why do we always go smaller? I say we go bigger: Berkley should stop wasting their time building things people can easily step on and ruin. I say build a motor the size of Jupiter.

that’s very Victorian of you Manny…

I had no idea you were a “Victorian Thinker…”

:smiley:

oooooh!

with upholstered walls?

Old news, Sandia’s been doing it for years.

A big conveyer belt to take us all to the moon. Now thats a useful invenetion

nano bots are cool, but i think superconductors are even cooler…specially some of the latest work done on them.

Like that american guy (with russian name) who created an object (superconductor) which goes against the theory of relativity by forcing objects AWAY from itself in a reverse gravity type of thing…very weird and very hard to understand but definately the way forward…both US and Europe are now building massive power stations which use superconductivity.

Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the european one…cool name to hehe :slight_smile:

Superconductors are the future.
