March of the microscopic robots

Building robots at the micron scale is tricky, particularly when it comes to designing small-scale ‘actuators’ – the motors that allow robots to move. Conventional actuators don’t work at such a small scale, and new actuators that do work use mechanisms like magnetism and are difficult to integrate with traditional silicon based micro-electronics.

Now a team of researchers have developed a new type of actuator that operates electronically and that can be layered directly onto the circuit that controls it. This opens the doors for the last 50 years of micro-electronics research to be incorporated into robots so small they can’t be seen by the human eye.

Virus: who's the new guy
Nano machine: *wiggle*
Antibodies: confused

If we are seeing this; that means they have something better ✅

I like how he says "can be injected with a hypodermic needle"

We finally have twerking microbots, what a time to be alive!

[dziban]

Fighting cancer? Sure but in the meantime fight that paramecium, I'd pay to watch that

[busterhoodstar]

When he says, "That could be decades away", he's only telling us part of the sentence. The rest of the sentence would be; "before they let us know it exists. Even though, they've been developing this technology since the 60s".

They seem to be obscenely obsessed with getting everyone jabbed ATM. Trying to create a two tier society. Citizens and outcasts.

Funny how this just popped up. I thought it was graphite in the jab but this opens new possibilities scarier than I imagined

[TheRealColdfire]

In theory, nano-tech seems like a truly awesome advancement for Science. In reality, nano-tech is dangerous in the wrong hands, and unfortunately, there's not a governmental body on the planet that could be trusted not to use them to their most dangerous potential.

When i first started watching TV, if i heard "Decades away " i'd be like yeh, decades away, but if they are showing it, then that means this is lvl one and they're already on lvl 100

"damn i'm thirsty. oh hey a glass of water-"
"DON'T DRINK THAT THERE ARE NANOBOTS IN THERE "

2:45 *Terminator theme plays* Microbot to paramecium: "I need your clothes, your boots and your motorcycle"

[MatheusRcDm]

This feels like an intro scene to an robot/zombie apocalypse movie

[kenhalinmckay]

When you start to put the pieces together, you see the sinister outcome.

[jennifermedeiros]

He said they attach graphene to the platinum. Graphene oxide is an ingredient in the Pfizer jab.
Something to consider.

[makismakiavelis]

I'm sure some dude in DARPA has already figured out a way to weaponize this like, 20 years ago...

[NeoRipshaft]

I'll have to check out the paper, I can only hope they named it something like _"Achieving Swiggity Swoogity Motility On Nanometer Scale Using Optical Stimulated Platinum-Graphite Lithography"_

[sjeezy]

the problem with this stuff is the people that control it want to use it to hurt and monitor us rather then help and advance us .

[OlivierChacornac]

I'm gonna post that in an anti-vaccine group just to make them freak out.

[HAIRz]

I just luv it how when a new bit of kit is shown someone always says "in the future, it could be used to fight cancer. But thats decades away". Like they want to cure it and help us. Always used against us.
