Tiny robotic scallops can swim through blood and eyeball fluid to fix you up

Cool new medical technology! Tosha Caston-Smith shared with you:   Tiny robotic scallops can swim through blood and eyeball fluid to fix you up Engadget - For years now, scientists have been trying to develop microscopic robots that can swim through bodily fluids and repair damaged cells or deliver medicine. Now, a team of scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Germany believe they've got the perfect design -- in the form of scallops so small, they can barely be seen by the naked eye. These micro-robo-scallops move back and forth to swim through blood, eyeball fluids and other liquids inside our body. The scientists believe mimicking the way a true scallop swims is ideal, due to a number of reasons. Available on the App Store.
