I'll resist the temptation to make a joke about just how ironic it is that such a small thing is such big news, but a group of Dartmouth researchers just recently created, what's now dubbed, 'the world's smallest robot." Whether that's actually true or not, it's pretty darn small - measuring 60 x 250 micrometers. Or, "about as wide as a strand of human hair, and half the length of the period at the end of this sentence."

I am using the article in the magazine for science and am very very interested on how this robot works. How can I learn more about this micro-robot?  Sorry about my e-mail and how it is unprofessional......but i cannot change it.
