Spermbots! - I swear; there's no way I could make this shit up

Scientists look to sperm to power nanobots

MSNBC, Jan. 2, 2007

A tiny assembly line using ATP, which powers the whip-like tail of sperm, could be harnessed to propel future nanobots or other tiny medical devices inside the human body, Cornell University scientists report.


For their research, the scientists used mouse sperm proteins as templates so the proteins stuck to the surface of a tiny gold chip covered with nickel ions.



If circumstances go awry, this could get messy. It's all fun and games until someone's eye gets...well, you know.
