According to Discover Magazine, sometime in our future (6 years?) tiny robots will be able to travel through body fluids, find a tumor and zap it with drugs (chemotherapy).Propelled by an electromagnetic field, the miniature (small enough to balance on a grain of salt) crawling robot can snake its way through the body with its tiny arms gripping vessel walls and burrow itself into disease tissue.
Hallelujah.

Remember that movie where these tiny people got put in a body in a tiny sub .They traveled in the blood stream. I watched that the other day. LOL!
Maybe that's where the scientists got the idea!
nanowires are ready to enter brains now too, helping Parkinson's, Multiple Sclerosis, and other brain disorders---after they do their job, the brain just soaks them up--poof! Amazing!
